SF.net aggravations

I have no idea if this is SF.net or the maintainer, but keeping up  
with the way they distribute this software is a pain in the rear.  One  
of the most useful peieves of software burdened by things that simply  
are not a burden elsewhere.  In the end, I think I am going to mirror  
this file on my machines as this is getting old, and fast.

name                ASSP
version             1.5.1.8
homepage            http://assp.sourceforge.net/
master_sites        sourceforge
livecheck.regex     "ASSP Installation ASSP (\\d+(?:\\.\\d+)*) released"
use_zip             yes
distname            ASSP_${version}-Install

That should be about all the port file needs for us to eval this debug  
output...

Here are all the http failures:

I was using -f, as there were more p5 errors on this one than I have  
ever seen before.  This is on 1.8 which I suspect means I may have to  
make some adjustmetns,

I can manually go to SF and download fine at
http://softlayer.dl.sourceforge.net/project/assp/ASSP%20Installation/ASSP%201.5.1.8/ASSP_1.5.1.8-Install.zip

Putting the above file in /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/assp and I  
get an install at least with the -f in use.
