sourceforge's mirrors superb-dca3.dl.sourceforge.net and hivelocity.dl.sourceforge.net are redirecting the download to each other and the script abort after 20 tries. This is an issue with sourceforge's mirroring system, and not related to Ubuntu.
Please contact sourceforge administrators.

Thanks.

I'm reopening the report even if it's not an issue related to Ubuntu because this will likely hit many users.
