Sourceforge.net

For future reference: there are plenty of sites that mirror
sourceforge's FTP-tree, and you don't need to walk through the
web-pages to get to them.

The "download.sourceforge.net" name appears to rotate through several
mirrors (if one isn't working, try again and you'll probably be
connected to another one) where downloads are under
`/sourceforge/PROJECT' or `/pub/sourceforge/PROJECT' or some other
obvious form of `MIRRORROOT/sourceforge/PROJECT', e.g.:

          /sourceforge/wxpython
          /sourceforge/boa-constructor

I just don't recommend listing the `sourceforge' directory--there are
a -lot- of projects on SF....
