You may want to explain to the developers of this project that there is no need to use a POST request, and request the switch to (or additionally support) GET requests, since you're trying to GET a distfile, not POST something to a forum for example.

It would be preferable not to bloat up the repository with tarballs now
that we have the distfiles mirror. Bill Siegrist will put files on there
for you if you ask nicely. :-)

The idea is to eventually add a web interface that all committers can
use to upload distfiles themselves.
