Solution 2

include in HEAD section of HTML page this line:

HTML

<META HTTP-EQUIV='refresh' content='3; URL="downloadURL">

for example see my site http://catalogofsoftware.com/[^]

echo"<META HTTP-EQUIV='refresh' content='3; URL=".$row['Primary_Download_URL']."'>";

Just threw this together and believe it should work...

XML

<a href="javascript:download();">Download pdf</a>
<div id='link'></div>
<script>
i = 6;
j = 0;
function showLink()
{
    i--;
    if(i == 0)
    {
        document.getElementById("link").innerHTML = "<a href='#'>Whatever</a>";
        clearInterval(j);
    }
    else
    {
        document.getElementById("link").innerHTML = "Please wait for " + i + " seconds";
    }
}
function download(){
j = setInterval(showLink, 1000);
}
</script>
