Podcast downloads - how to consider the Mac user

I have some podcast files that are about 30MB so they need to be downloaded first to the users computer. What is the best way to handle displaying the links/downloading for Mac users? Since most don't have 2 button mouses, I'm unsure how to set up the podcasts for them to download onto their computer. If they just click on the link it will take quite awhile as it tries to load and play the podcasts.

Thanks,
Kevin

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, Road King 48!

All Mac desktops currently come with 2 button mice, and users in my experience are well versed in Ctrl+click (or two finger + click for the laptops) to access the context menu.

Regardless, surely a podcast would be an RSS/Atom file that automatically downloads scheduled episodes to a system, not a direct link to an audio file?
