Taken from the cvs log for bsd.pkg.mk:

Sourceforge seem to have implemented a new policy, whereby an http
request to the prdownloads.sourceforge.net site, which used to return
the distfile, now returns 8KB (roughly) of html, including
advertisements, and a link to the real distfile.

Delete prdownloads from the MASTER_SITE_SOURCEFORGE list (sadly,
because it seemed to be the quickest way to download files from
sourceforge).
