So my question is how can I change to direct dload when I just left click mouse to the link?

Thanks inadvance.

Thanks for your remarks. I struggled with a similar problem with Adobe Acrobat. If you edit the file local_links_include.php, you'll find the following lines:

PHP Code:

// Download handling matches VBulletin.  With Internet Explorer, left click 
// with some mimetypes may open file in a browser window. Right click 
// offers "Save As" option.
define('HEADER_BEHAVIOUR','inline');
// Or... left-click always offers Open/Save As dialogue. Can cause "Open"
// problems for pdf files with Internet Explorer and Adobe Acrobat.
// define('HEADER_BEHAVIOUR',''); 


Try commenting out the first 'define' and uncomment the second so that it looks like this:

PHP Code:

// Download handling matches VBulletin.  With Internet Explorer, left click 
// with some mimetypes may open file in a browser window. Right click 
// offers "Save As" option.
// define('HEADER_BEHAVIOUR','inline');
// Or... left-click always offers Open/Save As dialogue. Can cause "Open"
// problems for pdf files with Internet Explorer and Adobe Acrobat.
define('HEADER_BEHAVIOUR',''); 


This should do what you want - I've tried it with mp3 files using IE and Firefox - but some combinations of browsers and plug ins may cause other problems.
