Hi! There is a "musical" note next to the rpm in CRAN and its mirrors and it seems to require some sort of plugin that I don't have. Is there a way around that?
This is generic brain-damage caused by assuming that file extensions uniquely determine the content (same effect as assuming that README.DOC files are all in MS Word format). There's an audio format also called RPM (a version of RealAudio, it seems). Normally, there's a way to tell your browser to download links instead of displaying them, thus bypassing any plugin "requirement". In Mozilla it's Shift-Button-1.
