Unfortunatelly Netscape (4.x) doesn't seem to recongize .rpm files as
things you download, so instead it just tries to read the binary (that's
why you get all the funny symbols, - it tries to read off the codes as
ascii). You can only download .rpms by right clicking on the link (or
shift+left-click) and choosing "save link as". Are you using netscape
4.x or netscape 6/6.01?
