OK I have asked some questions on the gentoo developer list and the consensus is that the file needs to download cleanly with wget or else there are problems incorporating it into a gentoo ebuild without repackaging the file and/or the gentoo project mirroring it for you. In fact most of the comments were along the lines "tell the labyrinth distributors to fix their crap webserver" or words to that effect. Frankly there is no reason to have a redirect on a simple file download. Just show you can show the guys who run your web server, this is what happens when you try to download the file using wget, the web server redirects the download and you end up with a funny named file. Here is the output: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/tmp/laby $ wget http://laby.toybox.de/download15/laby_1.0.1.tar.gz --17:10:54-- http://laby.toybox.de/download15/laby_1.0.1.tar.gz => `laby_1.0.1.tar.gz.1' Resolving laby.toybox.de... 212.227.43.232 Connecting to laby.toybox.de[212.227.43.232]:80... connected.

The same thing happens if you just try the directory name as you suggested: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/tmp/laby $ wget http://laby.toybox.de/download15/ --17:12:24-- http://laby.toybox.de/download15/ => `index.html' Resolving laby.toybox.de... 212.227.43.232 Connecting to laby.toybox.de[212.227.43.232]:80... connected.
