Sourceforge.net annoyance

I wonder how many millions of open-source developers’ and administrators’ unconscious minds have negative associations with sourceforge.net because it never lets you just download a .tar.gz file directly? Download links always go to a stupid download page which, when you’re just trying to wget the file, is a major PITA. You have to break out lynx or links to get the file from when under CLI on a remote system.
