To move past it, place the file you've downloaded into wherever DL_DIR
is pointing and also touch
apps.update-rc.d_anoncvs.handhelds.org_r0_7_.tar.gz.done to signify the
download is complete. It should them move you past that point.

As for the root cause, we should be discarding the username information
when trying mirrors. I'll have a look and see if I can work out a patch
for the fetcher to do that...
