Thanks a bunch for this! How annoying for you this would be to upload 
each new release to downloads/ subdirectory? I understand that it's less 
hard just to tag some revision and github will do all the magic, but 
it's more fast and easy for users/packagers. I'm fine with both (in 
terms of FreeBSD packaging), but static tarballs in downloads are 
preferred. While you on this, would you please place sqlmap-0.9.tar.gz 
there (now 0.9 is the only release that packed with zip) and I add 
github as primary mirror. Thank you.

PS. While I wrote this I see that there is 0.9.tar.gz already. Thanks.
