How to install AMDOverdriveCtrl on Ubuntu via remote SSH?

I tried:

wget -O amdoverdrivectrl_1.2.0_amd64.deb "http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/amdovdrvctrl/deb%20binaries/amdoverdrivectrl_1.2.0_amd64.deb?r=http%3A%2F%2Fsourceforge.net%2Fprojects%2Famdovdrvctrl%2F&ts=1307967653&use_mirror=switch"

sudo dpkg -i amdoverdrivectrl_1.2.0_amd64.deb

As suggested here http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=7514.msg212294#msg212294

But with the "wget -O...etc." command it contacts sourceforge.net and returns a NOT FOUND message.

Another method I saw in another thread http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=11561.0 seems to install amdoverdrivectrl also, but it includes several other things, so I don't want to mess with the mining rig until someone knowledgeable can confirm it's ok.

And of course, I can't post directly in those threads because I have to fill my Newbie quota, sadly.

The reason I need to do it this way is because my rig is in another country and my buddy helping me with maintenance over there is out of town for a few days.

I need to get the memory speed down and see if that can cool my GPUs down a bit. I've got 3x6990 btw, but can only operate 3 of the 6 miners at the moment, because the temperatures are simply insane otherwise. I've tried flags and stuff, but it will need to be the memory speed tweak I suppose.

Thanks in advance for your kind help.

Cheers,
