you simply upload a fixed version. I think the proper fix is that for the
git version, git is used to download. It only makes sense to download a TGZ
from http if the source is also a tar ball. But I was waiting for us to
decide whether we will change regressiontests to a submodule before I
change that.

According to https://code.google.com/p/gromacs/downloads/list the 4.6 was
downloaded 328. I think this makes this useful. master was only downloaded
15 so it seems that my assumption that it is mostly useful to people with
tar ball not git is mostly true.
