I think the "easiest" solution is to have a page with an iframe. The iframe is hidden (size zero) and links the file to download (this will initiate the download automatically). The page containing the iframe can have a <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5;url=http://..."> to redirect to the next page while downloads continue.
