Need to change the default for that particular file type to open such files; Setting Default video app gives an example of how to do.
Basically, right-click that file, choose open with, select the program & check option to always open that specific file type with that particular program.

Thanks for that - but I can't actually go to the file and change anything as it hasn't finished downloading yet??

You can go to the incomplete folder. In the Download window, right-click the file, choose View File Info. Then click on the link in the information window Locate on Disk. Then do as I suggested.
