I have just tried it on 2 other machines with the same result.
Im researching setting the server to interpret .txt files.
Do you (or anybody) know of a better way to do it?

I'm assuming, since this is the ASP forum, that you can execute ASP code. The best way to FORCE them to download the file is to stream it to them through ASP:
Code:
<%
Response.Buffer = True
Response.Clear
Dim strFilePath, strFileName
Const adTypeBinary = 1
Set objStream = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Stream")
strFilePath = Server.MapPath("/virtualpath/tofolder") & "\"
strFileName = "mytextfile.txt"
objStream.Open
objStream.Type = adTypeBinary
objStream.LoadFromFile strFilePath & strFileName
Response.AddHeader "Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" & StrFileName
Response.Charset = "UTF-8"
Response.ContentType = "text/plain"
'Google "Mime Types" for addtional Content Type definitions
Response.BinaryWrite objStream.Read
Response.Flush
objStream.Close
Set objStream = Nothing
