Probably only the people at sourceforge know. All I know is that I only remember problems with all other URLs except for the recommended URL. The problems range from URLs not working anymore or the redirection to the actual mirror not working. Also the only "downside" of the URL is that it is longer than using some sf.net URL, but I would just use the recommended URL and problem solved. In your case it also only requires to remove tho characters, which can pretty easy be automated: If only your packages are checked out in your CVS directory: sed -i 's/pr\(downloads.sourceforge\)/\1/' */devel/*.spec But I am not sure, if a commit easily works: cvs commit */devel/*.spec Regards Till
