This site is the only site I have had this problem with.
What gives?

The browsers all come configured for winderz syntaxes for some reason,
and that think an .rpm is a realplayer file of some sort. The cure is
to right click on the url and chose the 'save as' option. Or find and
fix the file associations which I haven't yet.

Frankly, that really should be bugzilla'd, its a PITA. But I'm too
lazy.

/etc/mime.types?

[root@coyote linux-2.6.19]# grep .rpm /etc/mime.types
application/x-rpm rpm
#audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin rpm

but I think this ones in the browsers own prefs someplace I haven't found.

If this is the proper place to fix it, what should that be edited to be?
