Firefox thinks it's a real player file because the site you're downloading from says that's what it is (incorrectly). You can check this out with a tool like curl or wget: $ curl -I http://www.iglooftp.com/dl/linux/IglooFTP-PRO-1.2.5-1.i386.rpm HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Sat, 27 Jan 2007 23:44:45 GMT Server: Apache Last-Modified: Sun, 18 Dec 2005 11:38:54 GMT ETag: "3ed1ca-a1d2b-e10caf80" Accept-Ranges: bytes Content-Length: 662827 Vary: Accept-Encoding,User-Agent Cache-Control: max-age=0 Expires: Sat, 27 Jan 2007 23:44:45 GMT Content-Type: audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin The proper fix would be to have the folks that run iglooftp.com add the proper content-type for a .rpm file to their webserver config. I think the easiest work-around is to just right click and use "Save as" on the rpm file.
