<html>
<head>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" CONTENT="0;url=Other_File.tar">
</head>
<body>
Downloading...
</body>
</html>
How it works:
The HTML page is rendered by the browser, then the "refresh"
immediately expires. The browser will then download and try to
render the .tar file. Since it can't render it,
the browser will ask if you want to save the file.
And the HTML page will still be there.
This technique will not work for jpeg, gif, or text
files, because any browser can render those formats!

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
