I’ve put together a simple ruby script for downloading the latest file  
releases (binaries or source code) of any sourceforge project  
([www.sourceforge.net](http://www.sourceforge.net)), which I think some people could find useful.  
To install it, use rubygems, like:

> gem install -r srcforge

The gem depends on narf and my own getopt-declare.

You can then retrieve any srcforge project like:

> srcforge [options]

where is the unix name of the project as sourceforge lists it,  
like:  
http:://sourceforge.net/projects/mrliquid  
Here, project would be ‘mrliquid’.

Enjoy
