Didn't know that, thank you.

In this case however there's another complication which is the file suffix.
For the 'old' ftp url, tar.bz2 is used. For the new one (github) you
can get .zip or .tar.gz. This means it is not only the URL that
changes, but also the name of the downloaded file. How can this be
handled?

OK, that one is clear.
