It was a reliable site for many years. I was downloading as recently as yesterday without problems. But I did see this at wikipedia:
In November 2013, GIMP, a popular free image manipulation program, removed its download from SourceForge, citing misleading download buttons that can potentially confuse customers, as well as SourceForge's own Windows installer, which bundles third-party offers. In a statement, GIMP called SourceForge a once "useful and trustworthy place to develop and host FLOSS applications" that now faces "a problem with the ads they allow on their sites..."
I guess I'm just so used to avoiding the ads, that it's become second nature.
