Sourceforge download links unreliable #59
Description
A number of packages, I noticed tmux but there are others, have sourceforge links of the form:
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/tmux/tmux/tmux-1.9/tmux-1.9a.tar.gz
These used to work as download links with redirect handling, but now a timestamp appears to be required. This new form appears to work (on wget from a shell):
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/tmux/tmux/tmux-1.9/tmux-1.9a.tar.gz?ts=$(date +%s)&use_mirror=autoselect
Not sure what the best way to address this is, but a url-handler for sourceforge might be in order.
