try converting the filename to ISO-8859-1 as well
eg filename = new String(file.getName(), "ISO-8859-1");
Your Code (modified):
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" +
new String(file.getName(), "ISO-8859-1"));
response.setContentLength((int)file.length());
response.setContentType("application/octet-stream");
response.setHeader("Content-Transfer-Encoding", "binary");
Hope that helps.
