    force browser to download large file from external server

    am trying to download and rename a file (about 3-4GB) from external server, but I don't want to copy file's byte array on my web server and then send to browser, because it takes too much time.

    I tried this

    Code:
    <a class="downloads" download="SomeName.m4v" href="http://Externalserver/file.m4v">Donwload!</a>
    but it works only in Google Chrome.

    I am using Asp.net/c#

    Is there some way to do something like this?
    thanks for help :)
