I think the SourceForge servers are too smart for their own good. When I did an HTTP 0.9 request (no protocol specified in the GET), I got an HTML page saying the page didn't exist. When I did an HTTP 1.1 request (below) I got a 'bad request' error. When I fetched it with wget I got multiple redirects which eventually led to downloading the file.
