OK, I think I have fashioned a workaround, but it is past my bedtime here,
so I need someone to finish it.

If you look at our website and the recent changes, I added a bunch of
properties to flex.a.o/installer/properties/en_US.properties, then copied
it to flex.a.o/installer/properties/sdk/en_US.properties

The new properties override the properties in the 4.13 install script and
the install seemed to work for me.  There is a bug in the install script
where the log still says it is downloading from opensource.adobe.com even
though it is actually downloading from sourceforge.

So, assuming AIR urls are working, folks using en_US to install should now
be un-blocked.  If someone can copy these same properties into the other
language files and put those files in the
flex.a.o/installer/properties/sdk folder, that should cover most folks.

In theory, we don't need .properties files in
flex.a.o/installer/properties, but I didn't have time to test that.

If there are issues, I'll try to look tomorrow morning.
