Greetings! I have set up my ubercart shop and seem to have everything working. However the only issue I have is that when users click on the download files they have purchased the files open in the browser instead of prompting them to save to their local machine. How do I fix this?

Re: Downloads files opening in the browser

That's just normal behavior. For instance if you have a link to an mp3 file, the script serves the headers as it would any other link to an mp3 file. One way around it would be to zip the file up, but perhaps this is an option we can add?

For now you can just tell your users to right-click and choose "Save as"..
