Aaaccckk! Try writing an email to webmaster@kde-look.org, explaining the 
situation, and that you need a real URL in order to add things to ports.
Or, for eath theme, write the author and see if they have a download site
directly...

Only if the webmaster tells you how. :(

In fact, you probably want to mail him/her anyway, because themes sites
typically will assign a whole new id to an upgraded theme. This plays hell
with our idea of software versioning.

Urk. Can you make the port do it? What was wrong? Do you want the
responsibility of being MASTER_SITE for this port?
