You can have an old source copy in Sources (downloaded manually of by spectool) 
but by the time you finish QA and start Fedora inclusion process the origin 
website restructured and the Source URL is no longer good.

And many people check the URL still exists, but not that the returned filename 
has not changed (and lastly you have the hash)

That's one of the many reasons I had to write %forgemeta (it's available in 
devel, use it, test it report problems!)
