Sourceforge has a "direct link
<http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/libpng/zlib/1.2.6/zlib-1.2.6.tar.bz2?r=http%3A%2F%2Fdu109w.dub109.mail.live.com%2Fdefault.aspx%3Frru%3Dinbox%26nwi%3D1%26n%3D1639193770&ts=1336451130&use_mirror=citylan>"
too at download pages which I think do not need redirection!

Sourceforge uses a rotating mirror system; i.e. you're not going to get
the same mirror twice when you download the same file twice. If you look
at the "choose a mirror" option, you see the available mirrors and their
locations. And not all of the mirrors are good all the time.
However, if you never pay attention to the mirror banner shown when
waiting for the download to begin, you're bound to not realize it. I
myself wouldn't know, except that I can get really, really bored in the
5 seconds it takes to start the download...
