Always the best strategy to deal with these availability problems is to download the contrib in a separate step, and then use it locally as a library, with just the path to its manifest instead of the "contrib://" pseudo-scheme. This also obliviates the version check of the generator with every run, which caused problems for people too. You just need to check the contrib's version manually from time to time (Maybe not a bad idea when you want to control your upgrading).
One way of downloading a contrib is again the ViewVC interface of SourceForge, which offers a "Download GNU tarball" link on every page (e.g. see [1]). You can easily navigate the whole qooxdoo-contrib repository, and fetch the contribs you want. Of course, given the availability of ViewVC and its tarball service ;). T.
