My point of view is not there.

SourceForge replace File Release System and it support hierarchical,
and existing files were automatically converted to new hierarchical with simple 
rule.
http://sourceforge.net/apps/wordpress/sourceforge/2009/07/22/file-release-system-frs-update-complete-2009-07-22/
ex.
 old: http://jaist.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/mecab/mecab-0.97.tar.gz
 new: http://jaist.dl.sourceforge.net/project/mecab/mecab/0.97/mecab-0.97.tar.gz

It seems that downloads.sourceforge.net still redirect old scheme to new one 
now,
but I don't know when this will be over.
