Dude you are not the only one having this problem. It is mostly being caused by wrongly configured proxy server in between you and your internet access. Try running "file 'downloaded rpm name'". See the output it will mostly say HTML etc etc. or something thereof. I know this since i also faced the same problem and it turned out if I downloaded the same stuff from the same site on my server everything was A-OK. So then it narrowed down to the proxy server. Now everything is again configured correctly. -- Arindam Dey The mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindled. GPG FPR: B8E3 219E F129 F970 F4A7 BC50 9636 504A BEDF 5739
