Start a download the usual way in firefox

Add this to multiget or any other download manager as stopped (don't start yet)

Now in the download page of the file you are trying to download in sourceforge.net, select a different geographic mirror or simple reload the page. The download will start from a new location, capture that link and add it as a mirror to the existing download of your download manager.

In this way, the more mirrors you add, the faster you can go, the only limiting feature being your bandwidth

Its better to use a sourceforge downloader software. I heard there exist some download managers exclusively for sourceforge, where you just need to type in the download page address and it will download from as many mirrors as nessassary to reach your bandwidth cap. But I only know of windows software for this, and not linux softwares. So I am stuck with low speeds, with times like 10 minutes for just 10mb.

You could have just gone to http://www.iitm.ac.in/ to verify that. Site of IIT-B is http://www.iitb.ac.in/

thanks. I verified the link.
