There's also

I believe you're running into browser sniffing.

Assuming you're running a browser that lets you change the User-Agent 
string (or have wget or curl or something like that), just set your 
User-Agent to something that starts with "Squeak".

wget -U Squeak3.6alpha-5294 
http://update.squeakfoundation.org/external/updates/updates.list

wget -U Squeak3.6alpha-5294 
http://update.squeakfoundation.org/external/updates/5294SMCardUndeclared-nk.cs

From within Squeak, you'd just do this, of course, to save the files 
on your hard drive:

Utilities readServerUpdatesThrough: 10000 saveLocally: true 
updateImage: false
