302 is the HTTP/1.0 Status Code for "Moved Temporarily"
for HTTP/1.1
302 is now "Found"
&
307 is "Temporary Redirect"

Why they use a redirect is to be able to track clicks on the links. And it's a 302 rather than 301 because they don't know any better.
What happens is the page is using PHP's header("new_url") or ASP's response.redirect("new_url") to redirect from a "jump" link, and that will send a 302 response to the useragent.
Coding a 301 as the redirect will take 3 lines of code instead of one.
