Can you show us the actual URL you're having problems with?

That will work, but it's suboptimal. If there's no other way to get a
consistent filename, it'll have to be done that way.

But it can cause problem for automated tools that people use to
download the file and check its md5sum. It can also cause problems
for the SBo source archive: https://slackware.uk/sbosrcarch/

You might want to host the file on a different web server, if you have
one handy.
