SF mastersites

[blubee blubeeme]

I literally copy the entire url and add it to master_sites and it doesn't
work!

what does [:tl] even mean here? There's nothing about it on the whole page:
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/porters-handbook/makefile-distfiles.html

SF ${PORTNAME:tl}/${PORTNAME:tl}/${PORTVERSION}
MASTER_SITES= SF/spacenav/files/spacenav%20library%20%28SDK%29/
DISTNAME= libspnav-${PORTVERSION}

=> libspnav-0.2.3.tar.gz doesn't seem to exist in /usr/ports/distfiles/.
=> Attempting to fetch
https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/spacenav/files/spacenav%20library%20%28SDK%29/libspnav-0.2.3.tar.gz
fetch:

still giving me not found errors!
