It's close to impossible to instruct Internet Explorer to download a
file with a specific name. Seriously. The best thing you can do is to lie:

1. Enable the URL rewriting module of your web server
2. Configure a redirection from

http://example.com/download/ABC01234.2.nc

to

http://example.com/download.php?filename=ABC01234.2.nc

You can still get a mangled name but there's not much else you can do.
