hmm... I think the VLC issue has been fixed (or at least it works for me) 

In the other cases your describing the nature of download links.. you have to
"right click" on them and "save target as" unless you can send special headers
so the browser knows not to try and "view" the item. Something like 

header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=$file");
header("Content-type: $filetype");

should work... maybe we could standardize some get parameters that we interpret
to let people download the item then javascript could just append that to the
url.  This may be helpful for very large images in commons as well. 

In the short term I added "right click" and "save target as" to the download
menu item in r51443
