Weird. I did not even try to click from the browser; I just copy-pasted
the URL to a wget and it worked...

No I'm not, I was just fed up with it because of that stupid click-wrap
login page. So, when I noticed Julien updated the homepage, I took the
oportunity to check if the archives still required login. Nope, so I
updated the package.

I have not even had a cursory look at it, to be honest. I just checked
that the download for the three archives (armv5, armv7 and x86) was
working OK.

Someone that is atcually interested in that package would have to look
at it further...
