    In the page with the ads you would need to add a meta redirect as follows:

    
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="10;url=http://www.domain.com/download.html">
    HTML:
    This will redirect to the specified url after 10 seconds.

    You can use a simple javascript with setTimeout... You can put the download information and link in a DIV which is hidden by default. Then, you put a javascript on the body's onLoad event like this:

    <body ... onLoad="javascript: setTimeout('unhide()',5000)">

    and you have a script like this:

    <script>
    function unhide()
    {
    document.getElementById('theIDofTheDivWithDownloadInfoAndLink').style.display = 'block';
    }
    </script>

    and you div looks like this:

    <div id="theIDofTheDivWithDownloadInfoAndLink" style="display: none">
    download info and link
    </div>
