[SOLVED]How to find a download url for pkg.tar.gz in SourceForge?

I want to package quichhash, but I do not know how to find its download url... Only find http://sourceforge.net/projects/quickha … x/download, I am afraid this is not valid url.

Forgive my poor English, thank you!

Copy the "direct link" and remove any query string including the "?", then you get:

Note: It may not work in a browser, but makepkg or wget would be happy with it.

If you want to get a direct link for a specific mirror, copy the direct link and resolve all redirects with this:

curl -LI -o /dev/null -w '%{url_effective}' "$direct_link" 2>/dev/null

Still, letting sourceforge choose the mirror with the method felixonmars describes might be better.
