Bug Description

I like to use Ubuntu one to share videos (I create subtitles as a sidejov so this is the way I send the videos to customers). It works, but when I give them a link, they have to right click it and select "save target as", because if they just click the link, browsers try to play the video (which generally does not seem to work for anybody and is not wanted anyway). It would be nice to download video by default (Ubuntu one is a file storing service and not a streaming site after all). For example Google Drive solves this by creating elaborate interface that both plays the file and offers a clickable way to download it, which is a bit of an overkill but works.

I am not sure if this is possible as maybe this is a browsers setting that cannot be forced from a website, but if it were possible, it would be nice. I am not the only one suffering from this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/213793/sharing-a-video-clip-on-ubuntu-one

(please note I had no idea to chich component to add the bug)
