You need to set an additional header, something like the following 
template should work as "download-wrapper", maybe you can even call the 
RESPONSE.setHeader() from a PythonScript as precondition when accessing 
a file

<dtml-call "RESPONSE.setHeader('Content-Disposition','Attachment; 
Filename=%s' % yourFilenameFromDB)"><dtml-return "yourFileObject()">
