It used to be we could use a browser and download things from
sourceforge.net and lynx even worked. That's not the case any longer.
All that happens now is you get 10 redirects and get thrown off the page.
What does work though, is to copy the sourceforge.net url from what would
be where the file was going to be pulled from and drop back to the local
box and run wget -b and paste the url in. Apparently wget is able to get
these files and the bonus is the file names aren't mutilated as they are
when a browser is used to download them from sourceforge.net.
