You can force a download, however you will need to press a "Download"-button for it to be downloaded and openend (depending on your browser settings).

Forcing a download using php (you will have to reload the page every half an hour, i suggest using http://webdesign.about.com/od/metataglibraries/a/aa080300a.htm ):

create one javascript function and call the function in body onload.Refresh the page in each and every half hour,we can easily refresh using meta-refresh tag.
