Unless you want to match an empty version, the above specification
should be more restrictive:

    version=3
    http://sf.net/googleimagedown/mediadownloader-v(.+)-src\.tar\.gz

Could you please show where you got the ‘(.*)’ from? It has been around
in many places for a long time, but is IMO a mistake and should be fixed
in any documentation.
