I just did, and it did not help. E.g.:

curl --max-redirs 1 -f -L -O
http://subversion.tigris.org/files/documents/15/6494/subversion-
0.30.0.tar.gz
   % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time

   0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 --:--:-- 0:00:00

curl: (47) Maximum (1) redirects followed

Or did you mean something else?

Anyhow, in my case (fink package creation) I cannot change the default
way of downloading the tarball. Either the collab people need to fix
the website or i need to put the tarball on the fink download mirror
server (which is not very "nice").

Does anybody have any ideas if the website may be fixed in the future?

thanks, Chris.
