But the problem is, if I use the main link from source forge, I'm
redirected to the link that fails the checksum.

I also have a report
<https://github.com/openwrt/packages/pull/3266#issuecomment-251472592>from
an OpenWRT dev, where he's also having the same issue.

Question: Why not put the release files at Github. Since the source code is
already there, why not also have the package files hosted there?
