Thanks, this avoids the group_id search, so the audacity case can be trimmed to:

version=3
http://sourceforge.net/projects/audacity/files .+/audacity-src-(.+)\.tar\.gz.+

or anchor the second regexp to downloads.sourceforge.net to be on the safe side.

version=3
http://sourceforge.net/projects/audacity/files http://downloads.sourceforge.net/.+/audacity-src-(.+)\.tar\.gz.+

(ok, this would download also 1.3.5 which is marked as unstable, but it is
irrilevant)

the sf.net should be avoided as this would get rewritten by uscan to use the qa
redirector.
