We can configure apache servers to force download files instead of shown in browser window. For example if you want to download Image , MP3 file when you click on that file link , you can use following code in .htaccess file.

<FilesMatch "\.(mov|mp3|jpg|png|pdf)$">
 ForceType application/octet-stream
 Header set Content-Disposition attachment
</FilesMatch>
