You can add &r=1 to the end of the URL to be automatically redirected:
Without:
% curl --head
"https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/embed-cdt/packages/2020-09/eclipse-embedcdt-2020-09-R-macosx.cocoa.x86_64.tar.gz";
| egrep 'HTTP|Location'
% Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current
Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 0
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
With:
% curl --head
"https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/embed-cdt/packages/2020-09/eclipse-embedcdt-2020-09-R-macosx.cocoa.x86_64.tar.gz&r=1";
| egrep 'HTTP|Location'

My expectation is that users won’t read and follow directions :)
