Well the link says 'Direct link' but it works in the wget.

But if I would have gone to: http://webmin.com/download.html

There is the direct link there:  
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin-1.520-1.noarch.rpm

can figure out how to do the yum magic to get the key.  That has been a 
while and I can't find my notes.
