I was wondering whether the original question was really asking for supporting web proxies or was simply asking for more download sites. ?
Mauro's original question was indeed about web proxies, as a followup, private conversation confirmed. Using perl's LWP::UserAgent, it turns out to be quite easy to handle proxies in roll-your-own web client programs. Mauro gave it a test for me and said it worked properly.
I then implemented your other suggestion, which was to use SourceForge. Thanks, great idea! It seems to work fine from my limited testing. I was thinking of putting it on my web page so people could try it out for the next release. Drop me a line if you'd like to try it out right now.
I have checked the --proxy and --mirror options, they work fine.
