Using the Simple Download Monitor & Manager Plugin you can specify how your items are downloaded.
One feature of the Download Monitor Plugin ensures that your item will open in an entirely new window. This allows your users to easily download your items without loosing the page they were on. The Open in a New Window option works especially well for those sites that offer multiple downloads.
