I have a similar problem with libsyn.com downloads. As already suggested, I
use the -O switch to wget which helps, but for SourceForge, there might be a
better way. First, I know that Gentoo and the FreeBSD ports system download
directly from SF mirrors presumably without the problems, so you could try
superb-east.sourceforge.net instead of downloads.sourceforge.net the next
time. Alternatively, if you don't mind ftp downloads from Ireland, you can
go to:
ftp://ftp.heanet.ie/
where the complete Sourceforge mirror is available for download by
subdirectory. For example, "nvda" would be under n/nv/nvda, so it's a few
more steps, but you can easily see all project releases in one directory.

With wget does any way exist to prevent sourceforge.net from doing this
and saving to the correct file name on the local system? I downloaded
nvda_2012-3-1.exe from sourceforge.net and had to use an mv command to fix
the file name after the fact. I copied everything in the file name up to
one character before the first question mark then moved what
sourceforge.net downloaded to that correct file name.
