Thanks Darryl,
I was downloading it from my IE-5 pc and FTPing the file to RH Linux. I
right-clicked on the link and did a "save as" and it seems to be working.

It sounds like you're trying to download an RPM file and the browser is
trying to open the file rather than saving it. Are you clicking on the
HTTP download link or the FTP download link? I had those problems
before with RedHat and Mozilla, but they've gone away since I switched
to Debian/Galeon.
