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).

Sorry for the confusion.
