Exactly. :)  Simply trying again (aka "insisting" ;) already solves the
sf.net download issue in almost all cases. The "broken HTML" issue being
the notable exception. But I only rarely saw that one myself...

Since most of the tarballs we still need to fetch from sf.net tend to
not be updated often, a GARCHIVEDIR helps preventing these issues even
for new G(AR)NOME releases.


Also, I'd like to take this opportunity to introduce a pretty handy
'make' option: -C  Without the need to cd to a dir and back again later,
just use a command like this to (in this example) insist on downloading
the latest gaim release:

$ make -C fifth-toe/gaim/ fetch


Have fun...
