Eh, never mind, I'll just compile it from source. Savannah is sending
me the git repository at about 140 KB/s.
But, if linux downloads are broken, that's something that ought to be fixed.
It may potentially make a difference that I'm in mainland China.
(Sometimes, sites that seem not to be at all politically contentious
end up being inaccessible here anyway: opencv, for instance.) But I
also tried through a VPN, and the response was no better. So I don't
think the Great Firewall is to blame for this problem.
