I think what's happening here is that libfetch doesn't understand the
Content-disposition header that the site is sending out and so is saving
the file with the wrong name.  The fix would be to add support for the
content-disposition header to libfetch or use a suitable replacement
that understands the header.  The only other alternative I can see it to
host the file somewhere else or hack the ports makefile to force the
filename on it.

I sense much NT in you.
NT leads to Bluescreen.
Bluescreen leads to downtime.
Downtime leads to suffering.
NT is the path to the darkside.
Powerful Unix is.
