Resolves #659
The approach here is different than in that ticket. We just check if there is a "?real=true" at the end of the .tar.gz url. If there isn't, we bump the download count and redirect to a url that does have the path. If there is, then we just return the .tar.gz.
That way the cdn can cache the real url, and everything works as is.
