I was trying to make a PKGBUILD for The Butterfly Effect, a free game which is still in it's Milestone 7 version. The thing is I'm not able to use this URL to download the source:
"http://download.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/tbe/files/Milestone 7/TheButterflyEffect-M7.src.tgz"
That is probably because the white space, and it must be SourceForge's fault, since neither wget (the one used with PKGBUILDs) nor Konqueror can download from that location, which I think is correct (I use others that way for other PKGBUILDs).
So...
1) Am I wrong, and I should write the URL with another syntax, or
2) is there a trick for cases like this one?

The first thing is the url itself. It's simply wrong. The correct one is http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/tbe/Milestone 7/TheButterflyEffect-M7.src.tgz
The space shouldn't be a problem for makepkg, but if it fails, you can urlencode the url (replace the space with %20).

I don't know what's the matter with your software, but the correct link to the file is
http://sunet.dl.sourceforge.net/project/tbe/Milestone%207/TheButterflyEffect-M7.src.tgz
A space in a weblink usually translates into %20. See this for more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percent-encoding
