Ha! Thanks for that.. I upgraded to 2.7.4. but get 404 not found when I use 
Anthony's code..

in the view-

    <td>{{=A('Download', _href=URL('default', 'download', 
args=download_path))}}</td>   
    <td>{{=A('Download w title', _href=URL('default', 'download', 
args=[download_path, 'new_title']))}}</td>   


in default.py-

@auth.requires_login()
def download():
    """
    allows downloading of uploaded files
    http://..../[app]/default/download/[filename]
    """
##    response.download(self, request, db, chunk_size=DEFAULT_CHUNK_SIZE, 
attachment=True, download_filename=None):
    return response.download(request, db, download_filename=request.args(1))


...hopefully there is something else silly that i am doing wrong here...?

Thanks,
jl
