I managed to get it working. I looked up the download method in the Response class and apparently it's looking for a table name and field in the file name. I added that structure [table.field.] to my zipped file name [table.field.zipfile_name.zip] and passed it to the download as an argument in URL() and now it works. it zips the file, saves it, then downloads it, Now the next thing I want to do is delete the saved zip file from inside my app once it has been downloaded.
