What you are trying to do is virtually impossible. Due to HTTP
protocal's statelessness, you cant relyably reload the page after
the person has clicked on it.
Then you have issues like what if the person is using a download
manager (external to the browser), or his connection drops, etc..

This will only work if the browser supports multipart/mixed. And I
don't think any browser supports this.
