No, it's a problem with how the server is sending the data.  It's not a
problem with the browser--the browser is behaving correctly.  My browser
typically tries the load the file into Real Audio, depending on how the
remote server sends the headers.  Here are the headers returned by the
gnucash server demonstrating this:

me2v at reliant me2v $ webgrab -h

wget yields similar results:


me2v at reliant me2v $ wget -S

I've seen servers with rpm set up "properly" (I can't recall the last
time I've seen a .rpm that actually was an RA file).

In any case, any of the solutions proposed by Derek will work--I always
hold down the Shift key when clicking on an rpm file for download.  wget
works as well.  It would make like one key more convenient if Linas
modified his server to serve .rpms as .rpms and not as RA files. ;) 
wget is nice sometimes because it doesn't care what the Content-Type is,
usually.
