Please post the exact error message you see (or other symptom - e.g. 
does it hang? do you see a zero-byte file? something else?)

It looks all right to me. In irb:

>> require 'net/http'
=> true
>> resp = Net::HTTP.start("apt.sw.be") { |http| http.get("/redhat/el5/en/x86_64/rpmforge/RPMS//rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm") }
=> #<Net::HTTPOK 200 OK readbody=true>
>> resp.body.size
=> 16697
>> resp['Content-Type']
=> "application/x-redhat-package-manager"
>> RUBY_DESCRIPTION
=> "ruby 1.8.7 (2010-01-10 patchlevel 249) [x86_64-linux]"

Perhaps you are behind a proxy or something, and you have firefox 
configured to use that proxy?
