So, I changed the category's that have mkv files in them, to force-redirect=0. That seems to force the download prompt.

Is there anyway to change that? I thought that content type should have fixed that.

If force_redirect is set to 1 or 2, then the vbulletin mimetype data is not used at all. LDM simply tells the browser to grab the file. How the file is handled depends on the browser configuration and any browser plugins. I imagine on your system, mkv's are being recognised by a browser plugin. I ran a test on my PC (where I have not installed tools to view mkvs) - both firefox and IE show a run/save as dialogue.

With force_redirect=0, application/force-download is a good content-type to force the open/save dialogue
