There is a section in preferences - downloads - file types
unfortunately rpm is not listed under the plugins.
Oh, a big thank you to Real Player for choosing such an innocuous and little 
used extension for their files.
Anyway I will continue looking for a Firefox solution, but for the moment I 
have opened Konqueror and am downloading the files through that. Konqueror 
did ask if I wanted to open the file or save it to disk. Thank goodness for 
choice, but if I had thought about choice an hour ago I would not be so 
frustrated right now.
Thanks for the input. I will have to find where to configure the Real Player 
plugin I guess.

Love
Mike.
