As if the terrible user interface and malware installers weren't bad enough, Sourceforge (The official open source project host of last century), has taken it upon themselves to mirror [sourceforge.net] projects from elsewhere and provide malware installers. They've also started to hijacking [google.com] existing projects.

Source forge has responded [sourceforge.net], noting that Gimp-Win had abandoned source forge due to misleading ads. They've rectified the situation by providing both misleading ads and misleading hosting.

As Don Felder, Glenn Frey, and Don Henley might say, "you can co any time you like but you can never rm -rf"
