ftp an websites

[tinmanIII]

i have a ftp server running on my comp.
i have a webpage that will d/l from this ftp server
file transfers work well except when it comes to mp3's.
I would like to promote a music band and have ppl download the music clips but as soon as ( using IE ) your in the ftp:// directory and try to download an mp3 win media player pops up and auto plays.
the files ( such as zip or exe ) download fine just those mp3's are troublesome.
I dont know how to get the mp3's downloadable ( is that a word hehe )
I've tried the "save as" in win media player as it plays the song from my ftp but that doesnt seem to work.
Any explainations on how i can get around this? or perhaps what im doing wrong?

Its in the browsers settings whether it should stream or download. The only way to force download would be a download script in a serverside language. Or maybe you can edit the MIME types on the server so it won't stream. I'm not sure.

"enable install on demand(other)"
checked so unchecked and seem to work after that
