Looking at Fosshub, I grabbed the link and fed it to wget.

"20 redirections exceeded." Every mirror just has a 301 back to the main url, which then redirects to a mirror.

Code:

wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/calibre/files/latest/download

works just fine.

And going to the page downloads direct, just with a few seconds wait.
