There should be links to tarballs at the top of each project's root
page.  So for example, on:

    http://catseye.webhop.net/projects/animals/

there's a link to

    http://catseye.webhop.net/projects/animals-2004.0919.tgz

You should also be able to use a Subversion client to pull down the
latest files for a project, like so:

    svn checkout svn://catseye.mine.nu/animals/current animals

But I haven't tested this extensively yet (which is why there's nothing
on the site that indicates that it's possible yet...)  If you'd like to
confirm that it works, that'd be great.

Thanks,
