Downloading a rpm from the sight below, When I click on rpm to

This site is the only site I have had this problem with.
What gives?
The lightscribe.com site has an incorrected mime-type set for .rpm
files (audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin), at least for .rpm files as
most of us are used to them. 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. When the warranty is up, it
gets nuked at the first sneeze, I don't like viri loose in my house.

ib e- 1.4.124.1-linux-2.6-intel.rpm
Would you please go to that site and do a right click and "save as"
and tell me what I'm doing wrong.

You are doing nothing wrong. The page listing for the rpm is actually a
link to
http://www.lightscribe.com/downloadSection/linux/index.aspx?id=814#
which is the license agreement you've gotta accept before they redirect
to the actual rpm.
And as the server config is b0rked it pushes the rpm as a RealAudio
file.
After you have accepted the license agreement, and the RealPlayer window
has come up, click File on the toolbar, and the click Save page as.
Select where you want the rpm saved to, and it will be downloaded there.
Clumsy, but it worked for me.
easier yet go to
http://www.lacie.com/support/drivers/index.htm
go to software in the dropdown box and select labeler for linux
note you will need the 4L-gui

to use RealPlayer as download.
