You could send the form to the Thank you document 1 and put there a META refresh to the file download:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="3;url=download.php">
<p>Thank you! The download will start in 3 seconds. If not, use this link to download the <a href="download.php">file</a></p>

Add a second page that says something "thank 3 you, your donwnload will start in a few 2 seconds" and triggers the download using 1 javascript:

$(document).ready(function(){
  window.setTimeout(function(){
    window.location = 'http://yourdownloadhost.com/file.zip';
  }, 1500);
});

or use a meta redirect.

You can insert a hidden iframe into your 1 page and submit your form to this iframe.
