This should open the pdf in a new windows and allow you to download it in firefox at least. For any other file, just make it the filename. For images and music, you'd want to store them in the same directory as your site though. So it'd be like. I want to have links that both allow in-browser playing and display as well as one for purely downloading.
The new download attribute is fine, but doesn't work all the time because the browser's compulsion to play the or display the file is still very strong. You don't want to fiddle with the server's extension mapping because you want to deliver the same file two different ways. So for the download, you can fool it by softlinking the file to a name that is opaque to this extension mapping, pointing to it, and then using download's rename feature to fix the name.
I was hoping just throwing a dummy query on the end or otherwise obfuscating the extension would work, but sadly, it doesn't.
You can download in the various way you can follow my way. Though files may not download due to 'allow-popups' permission is not set but in your environment, this will work perfectly.

The solution is very browser specific. For Chrome, you can tell Chrome where to download files. Choosing a new folder allows you to monitor the status of the download.
Here is a test that worked on my machine using a simple page and PDF file. You need to check the MD5 of the file - before download and after download. Both the MD5 should be same.

If for whatever reason, you cannot add the download attribute in the case that you cannot directly edit the HTML of your web page , you can optionally compress the file using zip, and instruct the user to download the zip file.
You can alternatively explain to the user that they should right click on the link and select download.
