You can use wget to download it: > That's not lacies mistake, its the browsers mimetype associations and can be fixed if one is determined to. Its also very very commonly made, and can be worked around by right clicking and choosing the save as option from the pop-up. Windoze folks think they can make life difficult by hijacking the .rpm extension away from the OSS folks but all it does is make me more convinced I should nuke the only winderz install here, a leftover copy of XP on my lappy. I keep that just for the dweebs at C.C. in case I have a problem with it.
