On client side i've one hyper link and on click of it I redirect it to the MVC controller's action method. In Action method I return File() (FileResult), which in turn open the file save/download box on IE. Now if i click multiple times on the link without closing the save/download box, it will not open multiple save/download box.
Problem is with firefox and chrome. If i click on the same link from browser, multiple times file will be available for download. Is there any way by which I can identify that file is already available to download (until user has not downloaded/cancelled the download) so i can modify my client logic and user will not be available with multiple files to download.

I am not so sure, whether you can have control over the Download Box, still research over it for some time.

For a quick fix, I would suggest you to disable the Button, once it is clicked.
As a result, it will prevent the user from clicking it many times.
I have seen this type of implementation in websites a lot.
