Yes, you can either put the movie in a zip file
ex. - you put a movie into a zip called movie.zip, and upload it to your main directory

Then you would link it to www.yoursite.com/movie.zip - that will allow them to download it

Or you can upload the actual movie in whatever formart (.avi,.wmv, etc)
put then the user would have to right click the link, and save the file from that menu
and then make a link to that zip file, or give a link to

Thanks, I will try it right away.
