Why not use the page that comes after the link? That gives you a direct
reference to the file. Check the source of the HTML for the pop up page
that normally provides the download (just cancel the download).
http://bibiserv.techfak.uni-bielefeld.de/spool/download/bibiserv_1180771945_17521/rnahybrid-2.1-src.tar.gz

That URL appears to work with wget. Base your uscan on that and set a
wildcard for the bibiserv_<numbers>_<numbers>/ directory just in case
that changes from time to time.

something like :
http://bibiserv.techfak.uni-bielefeld.de/spool/download/bibiserv_[0-9]*_[0-9]*/rnahybrid-
(.*)-src.tar.gz

or 
http://bibiserv.techfak.uni-bielefeld.de/spool/download/bibiserv_.*_.*/rnahybrid-
(.*)-src.tar.gz

Always use the actual file location, not the webpage that the site
offers - view the HTML source and find out where the file actually
lives. The file has to exist somewhere accessible to be downloaded.
