Most source archives linked to by <package>.info files are now available here, thanks to B. Watson. If you can access it, you will have to download the archive "manually" as the download link in most case is not the one in <package>.info.
PS this is of course just a way to get the sources archives needed to build packages for which a SlackBuild is available @ http://slackbuilds.org, not an answer to you broader question.

Do you have an (experimental?) version of MLED for -current?
A few days ago, I started working on what will be MLED 14.2, based on a few installations of -current. If you're curious to check out the project's progress, you can take a peek here:
LibreOffice has been upgraded to 4.4.6 in the MLED 14.1 branch. Besides that, LibreOffice 5.0.3 is already available in the upcoming 14.2 repositories for both 32-bit and 64-bit. As always, I'm providing help files and localization packs for english and german. So even those of you who don't want to use MLED can still grab LibreOffice from my repos.
For all the other additions and/or updates (JDK, Firefox translations, etc.) check out the various ChangeLogs linked on the MLED project page.
Here's a little HOWTO (in french) along with a video on how to configure the Plank application launcher on MLED 14.1, as a replacement for Xfce's second panel.
Don't be surprised if there's no news in the ChangeLogs for a few days. I'm currently working on a new separate website entirely dedicated to MLED, and that takes some time.
