1. this bug is appeared when using libmp3lame compiled with ffmpeg (when using pipes there is no problem)
2. if a1 was not official released - it is better to use current version
I have found interesting feature in sourceforge - it is possible to download directories as tarballs, it works for other projects (example
1 2), but disabled for lame (viewvc settings):
http://lame.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/lam...tar.gz?view=tarQUOTE
Tarball generation is disabled
HTTP Response Status
403 Forbidden
(I am not sure if it was disable by lame, or limitation from hoster)
