Re: [Mingw-cross-env-list] Sourceforge download troubles

[Matthias Gehre]

I finally found the reason: Some time ago I installed a .wgetrc setting
user_agent = Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:10.0.2) Gecko/20100101
Firefox/10.0.2

This makes Sourceforge return the html page.

We could pass something like --user-agent="Wget/1.13.4"
to make it independent of .wgetrc's.

Anyway, thanks for your help and sorry for the noise!
