Your help is much appreciated. This is a tricky issue it seems as SF isn't always reliable for downloads...
Gentoo handles this situation fairly well, it simply uses a URL format 'mirror://sourceforge/project/file' and has a small database of sourceforge base urls that are tried in a round robbin until all are attempted or the file is successfully downloaded. Possibly a solution similar to this may work for us
I still don't understand why we need all this complication. All you need to do is to have a *private* list of such mirrors, and to simply poll them after uploading until you can successfully download the file from one of them. At that point, use that mirror's address to publish the release on WineHQ.
