[Slackbuilds-users] network/filezilla download URLs

The URL listed in the .info file:

DOWNLOAD="https://dl1.cdn.filezilla-project.org/client/FileZilla_3.36.0_src.tar.bz2"

...doesn't actually work, in Firefox, wget, or curl. It's just a redirect
to the main site page. sbopkg or sbotools users get an md5sum mismatch,
because what actually got downloaded was an HTML page, not a tarball...

However, this does work:

https://download.filezilla-project.org/client/FileZilla_3.36.0_src.tar.bz2

Looks like all old versions of FileZilla are archived there, and the new
version's there with a timestamp of "2018-08-27 14:20", which matches
the release date.
