downloads.sourceforge.net has been the preferred hostname to use for
sourceforge projects for some time
(https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/SourceURL#Sourceforge.net),
and will work with the earlier dir structure too:

$ HEAD -S http://downloads.sourceforge.net/usb-midi-fw/midisport-firmware-1.2.tar.gz
HEAD http://downloads.sourceforge.net/usb-midi-fw/midisport-firmware-1.2.tar.gz
--> 302 Found
HEAD http://garr.dl.sourceforge.net/project/usb-midi-fw/midisport-firmware/1.2/midisport-firmware-1.2.tar.gz
--> 200 OK
Connection: close

download.sourceforge.net has been unreliable at best for years.

Regards,


Stu.
