You can make Safari on the Mac download ANY files (mp3, mp4, jpg, pdf and more) by doing the following.

Open the file (movie,music,etc) in Safari. That normally comprises of clicking the link to the pdf/movie/music etc.
Click on the url of the browser (in this case it would end in ".../xyz.pdf".
Hold option down and press Return(or Enter).
The file you are viewing downloads to the Downloads folder on the mac.

I've tested this with almost all file types possible. Very very useful little feature that unfortunately too few people know about.
