Ya, it turns out that right-clicking the downloads and choosing Save Link
As
didn't cut it - that just kept downloading links or somesuch. It wasn't
until I
started left-clicking (through all the redirections - and there were a
few) that
I finally downloaded a file that took more than a split-second. That was
the
real rpm - not the one named rpm but actually an html file. Eveything is
fine
now. My daughter is slumbering now with a head full of gossip and
"hotties".
