Though it is late, I think this might help for those who bump into this later.

jQuery('.downloadLink').on('click', function(e){
    e.preventDefault();

    //open download link in new page
    var win = window.open( jQuery(this).attr("href") );

    //redirect current page to success page
    window.location="http://domainname.com/new-location";
    win.close();
});

Checkout jQueryFiledownload plugin (see the links to the documentation below), it will explain and resolve the issue you are having.

jQuery File Download is a cross server platform compatible jQuery plugin that allows for an Ajax-like file download experience that isn't normally possible using the web.

Hope this helps, Kevin
