I'm not sure - are you suggesting to rename the tarball or the link ?

Currently:

http://wxwidgets.org/downloads/#latest_testing ->

"
wxWidgets 2.7.0 Downloads

    * Source Archives
          o wxALL (Other formats: bz2, zip) ->
"

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wxwindows/wxWidgets-2.7.0-1.tar.gz ->

"
tar ztvf wxWidgets-2.7.0-1.tar.gz | head -1
drwxr-xr-x bake/ftpers       0 2006-08-08 16:29:40 wxWidgets-2.7.0-1/
",

i.e. tarball name is consistent with directory name, so there is no need
to rename anything in this case.

Is this what you meant ?

tar ztvf wxWidgets-2.7.0-1.tar.gz | head -1
drwxr-xr-x bake/ftpers       0 2006-08-08 16:29:40 wxWidgets-2.7.0-1/
