If you use sourceforge to distribute code, I automatically think you don't know what you're doing

@alok99 People use it as a primary way to distribute software? I always thought things just ended up there after a while. Like if you needed some old JDK and you could not find it on Oracle's site.

The last time I used it I was a student looking for some libraries. It was quite jarring to dodge like three fake download buttons.

Makes me wonder how I ever got anything working on my Windows machines at the time. No one even seemed to stop and think, "is this really the best way to do things".

@keithnator3000 Exactly. If you have download buttons to dodge, then clearly something is wrong. And I guess no one did take a second to think twice about it
