MacOS – curl fails on OS X with SHA1 mismatch

homebrewmacos

I'm experiencing problems with homebrew in OS X 10.10.2 and it seems that curl is causing them:

brew install gdal

Somehow curl creates files that are way too small:

ls -al /Library/Caches/Homebrew/
total 16
drwxrwxr-x   5 root    admin  170 Feb 10 20:57 .
drwxrwxrwt  15 root    admin  510 Feb 10 20:46 ..
drwxr-xr-x  24 xxxxxx  admin  816 Feb 10 20:57 Formula

-rw-r--r--   1 xxxxxx  admin  635 Feb 10 20:57 giflib-4.1.6.yosemite.bottle.2.tar.gz

Any thoughts?

Edit 1:

I have tried https://apple.stackexchange.com/a/60223 but that didn't work.

which curl
/usr/local/bin/curl

Path:

$PATH
-bash: /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/opt/X11/bin:/Users/xxxxxx/.rvm/bin:

Sourceforge is down, try later. I'm almost 100% positive that this is what is causing the problem.
