And wget will give you a file called "download" (with the 
tarball-contents)  unless you specify the outputfile. That's why _I_ 
rather use the URL without the "/download". It redirects OK and gives 
the right outputfile using wget ;)

Just remove the "/download" from the end of the URL, and you can wget
the tarball from Sourceforge.

 How often do the rest of you pay attention to the URL you're 
following? When going through sourceforge.net proper, the link I 
provided is /*the */link. It's going to redirect to that URL whether you 
think it should or not.

Sourceforge has a "direct link 
" 
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...
