hard to fetch file

I've got a file I'd like to fetch for my port of Sun Grid Engine, but I
can't seem to find a clean way to do it.  The URL is:

http://gridengine.sunsource.net/files/documents/7/32/sge-V60u6_TAG-src.tar.gz

The problem is that this redirects to:

http://gridengine.sunsource.net/servlets/ProjectDocumentDownload?documentID=32

and fetch refuses to accept the redirect even without -A.

The easiest solution I can think of is to just not use the real master
site with the downside of depriving them of their only numeric indicator
of software use. The other option I can think of is using wget or curl
if one of them supports this level of redirection.  Any suggestions or
preferences?
