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.
