when someone visits your web page, they have downloaded it.  the only 
thing saving the web page (or file associated with a web page) does is 
move it from their web cache to a directory they've specified.  So like 
Ken said, the only way not to get someone to "download" your content is 
to not post it at all.

if you're worried about images, there's always watermarks.
