SourceForge made a blog post about the GIMP project here: http://sourceforge.net/blog/gimp-win-project-wasnt-hijacked-...

It appears they switched the GIMP project on SF back to directly downloading the standard GIMP installer, at least that's what I see right now in Firefox at 3:30pm NYC time.

"Mirrored projects are sometimes used to deliver easy-to-decline third-party offers, and the original downloads are always available."

In other words: "Yes, we take your project and wrap it in an adware installer."

Or as I call it: "the download.com strategy." Honestly SF are scumbags.

Well, if it's abandoned, just leave it be. Yobs!
