If you're on an apache server this is really simple.

1. Create a file called .htaccess in the directory in which your files exist. For me it was assets/.htaccess.
2. Add the following to the file AddType application/octet-stream .jpg. You can add a new line for each file extension that you need. E.g. AddType application/octet-stream .pdf
3. Save your file
4. Clear your browser cache
5. Refresh your browser and enjoy!
