brew install freetds --with-unixodbc fails

Question

Has anyone seen this happen to them when running brew install freetds --with-unixodbc?

$ brew install freetds --with-unixodbc
==> Using the sandbox
==> Downloading ftp://ftp.freetds.org/pub/freetds/stable/freetds-1.00.26.tar.bz2

curl: (56) response reading failed
Trying a mirror...
==> Downloading https://fossies.org/linux/privat/freetds-1.00.26.tar.bz2

curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 410 Gone
Error: Failed to download resource "freetds"
Download failed: https://fossies.org/linux/privat/freetds-1.00.26.tar.bz2

Any help or pointers for this would be great. thanks!

I'm pretty sure that means you're trying to dl a file that isn't there! I'm betting brew hasn't updated to point to the new one yet. You can see that an error is given if you go directly to the page. — eijen

@eijen yes the fossies pages is missing, but the original ftp link that it tries is there, because I can download it directly if I want...but for some reason brew is erroring out there. any ideas on that? — Johnny Yeo

Found an answer to this question by posting an issue on the homebrew github page. Here's ilovezfs's answer:

you can try this link https://distfiles.macports.org/freetds/freetds-1.00.26.tar.bz2 and place the file in ~/Library/Caches/Homebrew.

So through this I learned that a workaround to brew links not working (mine didn't work bc of a firewall I have in place on my computer), you can also download the source files, drop it into the Homebrew directory, and run:

brew install <library name>

Just wanted to post this answer in case it is useful to someone out there with a similar issue.
