mess the time of a download

hello to anyone,
i have a problem! we have a download-area
on our page. now, my chief, boss, sucker (whatever) wants, that a pop-up-window appears at the moment, when a client starts to download a file. and this pop-up-window should be closed, when the download is over.
the server, on which the downloadable files are sitting, is NOT the same server, which sends the response to the client!!

does anyone know, how to handle this prob?????

many greetings
stumy
ps: this must be realized with server side programming, like perl-script, or php ... but the php-forum-users doesn't understand URL ....

stumy,
You should do it in Java Script.Since it is the client side issue.you have to go for a client side solution...

Wrong statement...
