Created attachment 401652 [details, diff] axel-2.4-max-redir-string.patch eg: axel https://dl.bintray.com/mitchellh/vagrant/vagrant_1.7.2_x86_64.rpm -> 403 Reason being ( as confirmed by bintray support ) is axel truncates the 302 redirect URI to 255 characters. This bug has also been reported here: https://alioth.debian.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=313080&group_id=100070&atid=413085 , which sports a patch to increase the limit to 1000 characters. That patch does not apply cleanly, and I've made a variation of it which bumps the limit 4000 characters ( and MAX_STRING to 4096 characters just to be safe ) With the attached patch applied, the above download now works =).
PLease report this upstream.

After logging in and checking this, the current status of that bug is: > Fixed in 2.5 version. > > New repository at https://github.com/eribertomota/axel And there's a commit that looks similar to my patch at: https://github.com/eribertomota/axel/commit/ce40ee76c25a84f386128927fcd0bab4e9751268 Seeing you've just added 2.12 though, this should be "really fixed" simply by upgrading to that :)
