It is really annoying when source code download sites don't provide a url that you can use with curl (usually it is some html redirect page that does tracking for them).

I want to download the code onto the server. I don't want to download it locally and then scp it to the server.

What I love is the url usually has .zip at the end of it, so I happily curl it and unzip it, and unzip yells at me because I am trying to unzip an html file.
