Assuming you're talking specifically about images, these are the easy
options;
1. Explain to the user how to right click and save as
2. If your users are all IE 6 users, and your images are large enough,
explain that they should use the image toolbar that appears in the
upper-left corner of the image
3. Zip your images so that the browser treats the files as an unrecognized
type. It will prompt the user to Open or Save. Explain to the user they
need to save, and this will invoke a file-save dialog. Naturally, your
users will have to unzip them later.
4. For the thumbnails, use GIF/JPEG, for the download versions, use a
non-web image type, like TIFF. This has the same behavior as the Zip
approach, but may be easier for them to open once it has been saved.
There may also be a javascript approach to invoking a save dialog; you might
try posting to a javascript newsgroup.
