I had some difficulties with this as well. I eventually resorted to using
wget to retreive the tarball.
>From the wget README:
Wget works under almost all modern Unix variants and, unlike many
other similar utilities, is written entirely in C, thus requiring no
additional software (like perl). As Wget uses the GNU Autoconf, it is
easily built on and ported to other Unix's. Installation procedure is
described in the INSTALL file.
Like all GNU utilities, the latest version of Wget can be found at the
master GNU archive site prep.ai.mit.edu, and its mirrors. For
example, Wget 1.5.2 is at:
<URL:ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/wget-1.5.2.tar.gz>.
The latest version is also available via FTP from the maintainer's
machine, at:
<URL:ftp://gnjilux.cc.fer.hr/pub/unix/util/wget/wget.tar.gz>.
This location is mirrored at:
<URL:ftp://sunsite.auc.dk/pub/infosystems/wget/> and
<URL:http://sunsite.auc.dk/ftp/pub/infosystems/wget/>.
