yup, you can see another effect of the whitespace also on

http://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.1/desktop/uwm/

besides what David says, let me state a thing about sourceforge urls
(I hope for the benefit of all submitters): as they often get extra
long and confusing, take in account that *ALL* downloads from there
can be in the form

http://downloads.sf.net/${name_of_the_project}/${tarball_name}

so, in this case

https://sourceforge.net/projects/udeproject/files/UWM/uwm-0.2.11a%20stable/uwm-0.2.11a.tar.gz

can be written also as

https://downloads.sf.net/udeproject/uwm-0.2.11a.tar.gz

that is so much less confusing (and error-prone)...
