[CMake] file(DOWNLOAD) and HTTP 302 (redirect)

When downloading something from http://downloads.sourceforge.net/... you always get a 302 redirect to one of the many mirror servers. Unfortunately, it seems that file(DOWNLOAD ...) doesn't follow the redirect, but just stops and leaves an empty file behind. No error, no nothing. Is this intentional?

I'd rather not use a specific mirror...
