Pop-Up Blocker blocks download from file server when off

I have a problem where Pop-Up blocker is blocking downloads from a file
server even after the IP address of the file server has been added to the
safe list. It also blocks when Pop-Up blocker is completely off. Holding CTRL
will allow the file to open. I have tried it with the file launching in both
IE and the native application (Word) to no avail. Anyone ever seen this? We'd
like these files to download automatically without having all the users hold
down CTRL...

Hi Mc,

Are you using server side scripting to stream the download back to the user?
Do you use and Intervening Popup dialog to confirm the download?
In you client code use a Form POST with action set to your streaming active
server page, passing the filename and title, set the forms target to
"_self". In you streaming page don't forget your last command will be
response.end.

Or

User Hyperlinks instead ( then users can also use the context menu 'Save
Target as')

Regards.
