Summary:                    404 error on sourceforge downloads with fix.
Description: 
many, not sure if all, of the packages with the $SFORGE_URL tag have a 404
on download. replacing the $SFORGE_URL with
http://downloads.sourceforge.net fixes the problem in all the cases I've
seen. I'm not sure how to test the packages I haven't install or have
without seeing the error.

When it comes to sourceforge mirrors, as root run;

lunar

select

option

select

software mirrors

select

SFORGE

Pick one. If that does not work, then choose another. Their mirrors have a
long history of being troublesome.

is there a way I can add downloads.sourceforge.net to the list in software
mirrors list for $SFORGE ?
