Note that the below is only true for ie5.5.
I don't know of a way to do this in earlier versions,
and no, it doesn't work in them.
If you have ie5.5, and you want to download any type of link,
just high-light the link, and right-click on it.
You'll get a menu.
One of the options in there will be something like
download link. Just select that, and you should be all set.
