Refresh page after user downloads file

I am really scratching my head with this and can't figure out how to do
it or if it is possible. I have page that the user selects the items
they want to import into their local program. The user then hits ok
which the server then generates a text file which shows the file
download box to the user. The user then saves the file to their local
machine. All this works fine. What I would like to do after the user
has downloaded the file, is to refresh the page to show the user that
they have downloaded the items they selected. How can I do this? Is
it possible?

have the download target another window (use anchor with target), then have
the main page poll for the download to compete (say with a hidden frame).

Can someone tell me how I can get a page(any page) on the Internet to refresh automatically every 5 minutes. I was thinking along the lines of having a HTML file on my C-drive with JavaScript to do so. It should be possible, Right? I don't know much about JavaScript. Thanks for the help.

Hi, I'm trying to do something fairly simple. I want to create a web page that will take a parameter in the URL and return a file on page load. The file is stored in a MSSQL 2005 database in an XML field (which is similar to a varchar(max) field). The URL would look something like this: http://www.mydomain.com/myspecialpage/?MyTableID=99...
