Is there any difference if you append '?download' to the URL like this?
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gtk-gnutella/gtk-gnutella-0.96.2.tar.bz2?download

I don't know how SF selects mirrors. Maybe they use Geo-IP information for
that using a horribly outdated database, your browser's language setting or
whatever. If it's a generic problem with SF, you should submit a support

Actually, I just see that there are already reports regarding this mirror.
