Sourceforge grief

(1/3) > >>

iphigenie:
I think I got to sourceforge a few times a month for one software or another.

But this week when you try to download they have started showing a big ad-intersticial page.
And 80% of the page is about the advertiser, good luck finding the link to download... At least for me the ad stays there forever, there is no automatic start of the download. It even freezes my opera for something like 20 seconds.

I find this extremely annoying, enough that it just put me off downloading something because I just didnt want to risk a crash again.

When did this start?

check the screenie - found the download link yet?

PhilB66:
Never seen these ads before and I have no problem downloading from sourceforge at all. Try blocking the ads.


Edit: Oh, download link is at the top right corner of your screen under the black bar.

iphigenie:
Well hidden, eh?

So most people don't get this? The plot thickens!

Until last week i got the normal download thingie, but now i get this different page. Must figure out what changed

housetier:
I have found ABP to be a great help in avoiding ads.

Carol Haynes:
Have you done a malware scan on your system?
