I need to go to my home-machine in order to verify this again. Exact
address was however
http://telia.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/ripperx/ripperX-2.4-1.i386.rpm
I also checked that it is returning "application/x-redhat-package-manager"
as a file-type.

I can't replicate this behavior at all. Everyone of the mirrors on that
site return a mime type of application/x-redhat-package-manager
Which mirror are you downloading from? What is the exact url in your
location bar when the machine in hanging? A redirection page is useless
as an example because it doesn't give a precise URL you are using.

I still can't replicate the problem with the information you're giving.
Every last one of the mirrors is an http download and is providing the
proper mime type. Now unless they've fixed it since you last tried it.
That URL is not an example of the bug.
