In addition to the mail from Andy:

I tried to find a way to download a file with wget or a similar tool, which 
would be used by a distribution builder (like Yocto, Buildroot, OpenWrt, ...).
Up to now I failed, as the download button depends on javascript and the 
generated download link for the file [1] has no indication of the file name
(and because of "templink" inside I am also not sure, how constant this would be).

If somebody can provide a way to download the tarballs by name from a 
command line I would accept the ACD as a replacement.
Otherwise I would prefer a server (like ftp) with some kind of stable URLs.

Best Regards,
Thomas
