  -- Edit: John Cotton gave a good answer, here is the link to the jQuery code http://turbo.premiumpixels.com/wp-content/themes/premium/js/jquery.download.js?ver=3.2.1
  
  Maybe this code is not GPL, you should check it before using the code.

  Do you use any plugin or is it that you place a download link directly?

  Hello
  
  What kind of code are you using for the download link ?
  Ajax mode ? or "just" click-to-get mode ?
  
  See you soon

  Premiumpixels.com use javascript/jQuery to do it. I can create the same function for you, but it only works if you insert the download links manually. PM me if you are interested.

  John Cotton says:

  PremiumPixels is using this javascript to do it:
  
  

  
  
  jQuery(function () {
  
  	
  
  	// get the GET variables
  
  	var theme = getUrlVars();
  
  	
  
  	var downloadLink = 'http://cdn.premiumpixels.com/uploads/' + theme['file'] + '.zip';
  
  	
  
  	if(theme['file'])
  
  	{
  
  		 jQuery('#downloadLink').attr('href', downloadLink);
  
  		 
  
  		 delayedDownload();
  
  	}
  
  	
  
  	function delayedDownload()
  
  	{
  
  		 timeoutID = window.setTimeout(downloadTheme, 1000);
  
  	}
  
  	
  
  	function downloadTheme()
  
  	{
  
  	 	window.location.replace(downloadLink);
  
  		//window.open(downloadLink,'','menubar=1,location=1,toolbar=1,width=600,height=500');
  
  	}
  
  	
  
  	// Read a page's GET URL variables and return them as an associative array.
  
  	function getUrlVars()
  
  	{
  
  		var vars = [], hash;
  
  		var hashes = window.location.href.slice(window.location.href.indexOf('?') + 1).split('&');
  
  	
  
  		for(var i = 0; i < hashes.length; i++)
  
  		{
  
  			hash = hashes[i].split('=');
  
  			vars.push(hash[0]);
  
  			vars[hash[0]] = hash[1];
  
  		}
  
  		
  
  		return vars;
  
  	}
  
  	
  
  });
  
  

  
  
  So his link to the file is actually a link to another page with a query string variable (in this case, the name of the download file without .zip on it.
  
  ie http://www.premiumpixels.com/download/?file=menu
  
  What you are seeing is the contents of /download - try without the ?file=menu on the end....!
  
  So the user clicks through to the next page (which could be anything of course - you could easily have some logic in there that detected the actual file being downloaded and change the contents of the page based on that) and then the script above fires off, reads the query string and downloads the file!
