Perl Script on OSX downloads SourceForge's HTML download page instead of the files #1

Closed AgentEpsilon closed 6 years ago

Each file that is downloaded gives me the following result for the file command:

gp32-examples-20051021.tar.bz2: HTML document text

It looks like this has to do with trying to download the files off of SourceForge. Even though it looks like curl does have callbacks enabled (with a -L flag), it is not downloading the files. I attempted to download them myself using these instructions, but they do not appear to work with curl -L or wget.

Any ideas would be appreciated - I am definitely willing to help.

What does the html say? Usually it's an error message relating to some Sourceforge problem & the issue gets fixed later.

It looks like its the SourceForge download page: Gist So it may be a problem with curl not loading the page fully & waiting for the file to download.
