Have you studied the behavior of the site? AFAICT, the first link above works fine each time you try to go there. It's possible you may need some cookie set first by visiting the second link, but in my brief tests, it doesn't look like it.
I find it's often the case that the site expects you to go to page 1, click a java link or send a form, etc., but you can bypass all of that and just go to the final link to get what you want.

If it doesn't, the above makes no sense
Bottom line - keep studying the behavior of the site. If it turns out you need special cookies, or referer headers, it will show up in your careful tests. It's possible to get those with Mechanize, if needed.
