 * Hey folks,
 * what do I have to do to enable the direct download of the file?
 * I want it like this:
 * **click on the link -> download it on the computer**
 * At the moment it’s like this:
 * **click on the link -> open a new browser tab and play the video**
 * Hope you understand what I mean.
 * Thanks
