This is certainly a bug report Josh ;-)
It is possible to create a redirection, the problem is that we have this download url so we can track a count. If you want untracked file downloads, those are already available in the /media/resource/file/$filename urls.

The current gallery item naming will probably cause more "alert" users to be overly cautious. I'm mainly bringing it up because when I saw the package urls from what bryce had uploaded my first thought was "I don't know what is at the other end of that url"... I'm not saying you ever really know or that you can't get re-directed away from what it says is your destination, just that it seems far more questionable. If I was unfamiliar with a project and saw a download that didn't point to an end file or an FTP directory, chances are I either wouldn't follow it or would otherwise seriously question why they're doing it that way and send an email.
