This and the "correct" in Subject might be somewhat strongly put:
At the time I researched this a long time ago, there was no official
documentation from SourceForge blessing the use of any particular URL or
hostname for direct "wget-like" downloads. The downloads.sourceforge.net one
was just the one I found working most reliably, and it eventually found its
way to the guidelines.
If someone's interested, it wouldn't be a bad idea to browse through the
SourceForge docs to see if they have something documented these days, and if
not, ask via a support request or something if they have any recommendations.
