There are two possible Download Methods you are able to use: physical and logical.

The physical method:
This will point the attachment link to the original File. If you (or a user) click on an Attachment which Extension Group is set to physical download method, the browser will point directly to this file. Of course the download.php file is called to check Permissions and other things, but the delivery method consist of a simple Location Header (or Refresh if the Server does not Support this Header).
The downside of this method is that Users sometimes receive cryptic Filenames (with random Numbers at the end) and your Upload Directory has to be accessible from the Internet.
Therefore, this method should only be used for Extensions that need the File in complete. I only know of one: Real Media Files. Additionally, try this Download Method if you think your downloaded Files got garbled.

The logical method:
The Logical Download Method is the standard Method to use. It's for pointing the User to the correct Attachment and presenting them the correct Name for the Attachment, even if it's saved differently at your webspace. Even if the Upload Directory is not accessible from the Internet, the File gets downloaded correctly.
