Version 1.8.0-2 has been uploaded to the AUR.
The only difference with respect to version 1.8.0-1 is that the source tar-ball is no longer downloaded from sourceforge but has been stored in the AUR.
That is only a temporary solution. It allows users to build the AUR package and gives me some time to look for a permanent solution to the sourceforge problem.
There's nothing really preventing you, though if the package would be added to community at some point (tkpacman has more than enough votes) having the source code hosted on AUR would not be too convenient...
The issues with sourceforge have going on for a while, I'm not sure when it will be resolved:
@Alad Today, I tried again to build the tkpacman package and this time I had the problem you have reported. I am not sure yet what to do. It seems to be a problem that occurs now and again. I don't have any statistics yet. I will definitely envisage to move the package elsewhere. Do you know if there is anything against storing the package directly in the AUR? After all, tkpacman is only meant to be used via the AUR.
@Alad I have just tried to execute makepkg again and I did not have any trouble. I could successfully download, build and install the package. Maybe it was a temporary issue? Did experience that problem during a long time? Or is there a problem that is affecting some, but not all users? At any rate, thank you for letting me know there was a problem. I was not aware of it.
For a while now, the only thing I get on retrieving the archive with makepkg is the following:
[archie@v22018013960760236 trunk]$ cat tkpacman-1.8.0.tar.gz

Not sure there's a workaround apart from uploading a copy of tkpacman to an alternative hoster. Should you be interested in doing so, Eli wrote a list of alternatives here:

If you want to use tkPacman with Konsole as virtual terminal, you will have to change the tkPacman option "terminal" from
konsole -nofork -p tabtitle=%t -e %c
to
konsole --title %t -e %c
If I have to update tkPacman for some reason, I will also correct the command template for Konsole.
