Thanks for reporting, am already aware of it.
Sourceforge recently made some incompatible changes and there's at the
moment no workaround.

Only if it is from devscripts 2.10.31 or greater (lenny was released
with .35), which is smarter when redirected (required by the only
sourceforge mirror that keeps the redirector working.)

Being curious, why did you access the redirector directly and not via uscan?
