...as well as a mirroring issue indeed inside SF.net, something we in
JPackage cannot affect.  But hey, as we saw, it's a good stress test for
apt/yum/urpmi :)

If interested, do a "host dl.sf.net" a couple of times (ditto for
eu.dl.sf.net) and witness the addresses change.  Given that, it'd be
really nice if their mirrors would keep in sync better than they do now.
