           Summary: Konqueror starts a certain application automatically,
                    but I only want to download a file
           Product: konqueror
           Version: 3.1
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konq-bugs@kde.org
        ReportedBy: joachim.eibl@gmx.de


Version:           3.1 (using KDE KDE 3.1)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

I tried to download a RPM from Sourceforge. The Sourceforge-Website offers to select a mirror and then Konqueror should ask me where to save the file.
Instead Konqueror is very clever and opens the RPM and offers to install it via Yast, but I only want to save it to disk. Saving the link-target is no option there because there is some script in between.

I'm not sure if this should be called a bug, because under WinXP the behaviour is equally awful. There the same action opens the Realplayer, which doesn't even understand RPMs.

Perhaps you could show a message box that asks what to do, or improve the RPM-plugin, so that it can also save the file to disk.
