All I can say is "GOOD". I'm glad it doesn't work, and I hope it NEVER works.

It's extreme jerk-like behavior to to try and force my PC to download something I haven't explicitly asked for. What makes you think anyone wants you forcing ANYTHING to their browser or computer?

Maybe you should have said that, instead of simply saying "I made a small force a download script" that "downloads the file fine". That sounds like you're forcing a file to download to the user's browser, unless I misunderstood the words "force", "file", and "download".
