So it is "normal" if not "usual".
IOW not a bug for either SM, gparted.og, nor sourceforge.net .
Thank you

When you follow the "download" URL of a file hosted by SourceForge, it
gets downloaded in 4 HTTP requests (instead of one):
GET https://downloads.sourceforge.net/gparted/gparted-live-0.28.1-1-i686.iso
HTTP 307
GET

HTTP 200
At this point, you're presented with a SourceForge download page and
have to stare at their advertisements for like 5 seconds. After which
the page is refreshed for the 2nd time:
GET
https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/gparted/gparted-live-stable/0.28.1-1/gparted-live-0.28.1-1-i686.iso?r=&ts=1493909634&use_mirror=netix
HTTP 302
GET
https://netix.dl.sourceforge.net/project/gparted/gparted-live-stable/0.28.1-1/gparted-live-0.28.1-1-i686.iso
HTTP 200
... and you're finally allowed to download the darn file.
You can perform the above diagnostics yourself using either the
"Developer Tools" (the former Firebug), or the 3rd party "Live HTTP
Headers" extension available at AMO, or by setting the
accessibility.blockautorefresh preference to true (Appearance -> Content
-> Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page).
No browser is smart enough to rid you from this five second delay.
Wget is a different story: apparently, the web server interprets its
User-Agent string as "something which is not a browser" and skips the
advertisement page.
You can try to play with general.useragent.site_specific_overrides as
described here: <http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=2647781>

Hi Richard,
Can you test how wget/curl behave when given the same URL?

It "ran".

I went to http://gparted.org/download.php and right-clicked on link
titled "Download gparted-live-0.28.1-1-i686.iso" whose target was
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gparted/gparted-live-0.28.1-1-i686.iso
When I chose "Save Link Target As" it saved a HTML file named
"download".
However when I left-clicked on the above link, it took me to
https://sourceforge.net/projects/gparted/files/gparted-live-
stable/0.28.1-1/gparted-live-0.28.1-1-i686.iso/download?use_mirror=iweb
That triggered an automated download of the desired ISO file.
The content of the save HTML was the sourceforge.net page.
Is this expected behavior?
TIA
