How to Download a file with a hyperlink

I have been all over the net reading samples to this, they are not for ASP 2.0 or the example code given does not work.
So could someone PLEASE put this simple thing in black and white?
 Assuming you have created a blank aspx lets say Downloading.aspx and are going to hyperlink from links.aspx... and all your files that you want available for the client to download are stored in a public folder on your domain lets say mydomain/downloadstuff.
1. Example of hyperlink to use on links.aspx
 
2. Code to use on downloading.aspx (assume to use the octet thing that supports all types of files) and does the code go in downloading.aspx or downloading.aspx.vb
 
thanks,
Brad Zynda
