Force SSRS Report to create a file rather than render on screen

Using SSRS for SS 2008, is there a way to force the report to download rather than render? I have a report that has thousands of rows - rather than waste resources returning the resultset to the front end, I would rather just force the user to download a CSV or XLS file.

This is not a subscription-based report - rather, it is adhoc via a "click".

I think exporting using url might be your solution. Try the following :

http://localhost/ReportServer/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx?%2fSample+Report+Solution+R+and+D%2fGroupWise+Report&rs:Format=CSV
