Does anyone know if it's possible to start an automatic download on all browsers, or are there some browsers where it just isn't possible because of technical issues?

I believe you hit 'alt or 'option' keys and click on link to dwonload same time = auto dl

I meant start a download automatically when the user reaches a certain page. Kind of like Tucows or Download.com.

If you mean if there's a way for you to just click 'n download, then in your browser preferences there should be an option to download to a specific folder each time (the default is usually the desktop). Firefox has a few extensions to make this a bit more robust. If you mean you want visitors to automatically download a file when they get to a page, then just put the URL in a http-refresh tag.
Hope that helps.

all it is is a javascript redirect attached to a set interval of time, no? And if the extension is .exe .sit or .zip it downloads rather than trying to open it in the browser, I think. maybe Im missing something.

No need for Javascript, it's all HTML. I made a little booboo in my description. Here's how you do it:
[meta http-equiv="refresh" content="10; url=http://www.yersite.com/yerfi...The 10 in this example is seconds.
