Comment (by igloo):

 If you do this, if possible, can you do it so that something like
 {{{
 wget http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/arrows/latest.tar.gz
 }}}
 will end up creating a file called `arrows-0.4.tar.gz` please?

 I ''think'' that making `latest.tar.gz` redirect to the real file name
 will behave like that.
