Lots of times we have to download files from the net. In IE we get to see the ugly download progress bar. In firefox we get to see a pop-up window opening etc.

However, I have never seen this being over ridden in any manner.

Until recently on the site

If we get to download a song free and click on the ok link to start the download we get a pop up to select location in the default style of windows. Then we see the progress bar as shown below.

Any ideas on this? I am trying to see how these guys did this.
