Just have the user hold the control key and choose 'download link to disk' in OSX. I think you can hold the option/alt key down while clicking with the mouse and go right to the download.
The other simple solution is to convert the file from a .rev file which acts more like a text file(which loads in a browser window), to a .sit or .hqx etc. file which will then 'auto' download when clicked because that is browser expected behavior for those formats.

This is a web server configuration issue and actually has nothing to do with Revolution vs. any other file on a web server.
If the web server is apache, add lines like this to a .htaccess file
AddType application/octet-stream dmg AddType application/octet-stream gz AddType application/octet-stream rev
Or talk to your web hosting provider and tell them the extension of the filename that is not downloading correctly.
However, some web browsers may try to outguess the web server, which is why it might work with some browser but not others.
The correct solution is to change the web server config, not to force users to jump through hoops to run a particular browser, or Shift-click to download the file, etc.
