It is not recommended to download packages from pkgs.org since they could be compiled against different libraries than what you have in your system and it won't list any dependencies (since they aren't built into the packages themselves). It's typically safe to download from trusted repos like Alien Bob's and rworkman's, but for relatively easy packages to compile, it is highly recommended to build them yourself to help ensure it will work on your system.
Also, all scripts on SBo should work with the version of Slackware they're designed for (and the default is 14.2 right now).
