Note that the URL begins with https://sourceforge.net/, and does not point to a mirror. Solbuild has been improved in recent months and redirects correctly as needed for SourceForge downloads.
Note also that the path starts with /project/$project_name/
There is no trailing/download after the filename. This is important, if you do not do this then solbuild might reuse a previous version if you build without changing the checksum. If there is a trailing /download then solbuild will download the file as download in the source folder as $checksum/download. Solbuild checks to see if there is already a file in the $checksum folder with the expected output name and if present will reuse it, which would be very bad here.
