You need to download the source in a browser for that one.  What you
have there is `text/html', which shows in the download output.
Sourceforge has unfortunately been broken for many downloads for a
while now.  One trick I found is to do:

. *info && links $DOWNLOAD

(or $DOWNLOAD_x86_64).

But that counts out using a frontend script.
