First Hot Topic buys Thinkgeek and now Sourceforge goes the extra-mile to distribute malware in Windows binaries. About the only way this week could get worse is finding out my parents are devout puppy-kickers.
It appears that +SourceForge took over the control of the 'GIMP for Windows' account and is now distributing an ads-enabled installer of GIMP. They also locked out original owner of the account, Jernej Simončič, who has been building the Windows versions of GIMP for our project for years.
So far they haven't replied to provide explanations. Therefore, we remind you again that GIMP only provides builds for WIndows via its official Downloads page.

Which just continues to cement that whenever I can avoid Sourceforge. It's only marginally better then C-Net downloads now.May 27, 2015

Wow, when did SourceForge become like this? Since I use mostly Linux have not gone there in a long time. If I had to recommend a site for a Window user to download software, I have no clue what to tell them.May 28, 2015
