You can always use the mirror network to download the file, instead of
going to the pgfoundry site itself, no? See:
http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/projects/pgFoundry/pgtap/

Which will give you download URLs. You can also point directly to a
mirror either through the redirection service
(http://wwwmaster.postgresql.org/redir/155/h/projects/pgFoundry/pgtap/pgtap-0.23.tar.gz
for example, where 155 is the mirror id of one of the swedish
mirrors), or directly at a single mirror. If it would help we can
easily add a mirror redirector specifically for automatic downloads
that will just throw you to a random mirror.
