I was mistaken. It really makes no difference if it is 'prdownloads' or 'downloads'. Either one does the same thing using a browser or wget. However, I've already run the global sed and changed them all, so I'm going to leave it that way. It's probably better in the long run that it is 'downloads' anyway as all the download links have been converted to 'downloads' on the Sourceforge site. Additionally, if you use the 'prdownloads' in wget, it goes through a dialog saying that 'prdownloads' is permanently closed and is transferring to the 'downloads' URL (the transfer is automatic).
