I just create a new document with a .html extension and put the following code in:

<a href="http://domain.com/path/to/flash/swf">linky</a>'

Then open it in IE and right click "save as..."

Work arounds:

Use a program like GetRight that you can enter URL's to download files

Or, write a basic web page that has nothing but a link to the file you want to download. Then open that page in a browser, right click (or similar in a mac), and choose SAVE LINK AS or something similar.

If the embedded file requires a plugin, and you have the plugin it will display all of the time.
Ways around this:
disable the format plugin
use another browser that doesnt support that plugin
ask the website owner to send it to you
save whole page with 'save as'
...

Just remember if it is on someone elses site the file is copyrighted to them unless they state otherwise.

Look at the source code of the page. See the link to media file and put the link in your browser.
