You'll want to send out the "Content-Disposition" header. Set its value to 
this:

"attachment; filename=name.txt"

...where "name.txt" is whatever you want the filename to be.

In your example, the code would be:

def index(req):
    req.content_type='text/file'
    req.headers_out['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; filename=name.txt'
    req.sendfile('PATH_TO_FILE/name.txt')

Hope this helps!
