Oh yes, definitely ask, could save a little trouble if they say "here it 
is, http://sf.net/foo-mirrors.txt".  But if it was so simple, I imaine 
they would not have overlooked it in all their docs, which makes me 
wonder if they rather not have people know explicitly, and instead want 
to encourage use of their randomization scripts, or just make it so 
painful to handle programmatically that projects register for "direct 
download".  :-D  Either way processing the page is only slightly less 
trivial, and a lot cheaper than registration, while still honoring the 
randomization.  ;-)
