What the hell has happened? Supposed to be the bastion of Open Source software and you actually can't download anything. All you get are adverts. I tried to update my Fallout Mod Manager and it took me to SourceForge. Fine. Clicked the download then it opened the ads and said my download was starting... 5 mins later obviously that didn't work so I clicked direct link. It refreshed the page. Right click and open new tab, same page. Right click mirror I get a choice of mirros! YAY same page. Three windows open, a fuck load of adverts and not one download of a FREE piece of software!

Anyone know what the hell is going on here?
Hmm, just tried it and it worked for me...

Well I was able to set a new mirror and whilst the download didn't start automatically, it did start with the direct link

Managed to update my NVMM fine but tried again with the FOMM and it just stared at me again. Server problems I guess. They can't have decided to pump us with ads surely.

No......heaven forbid they think a site filled with ads would be a bad thing.....oh wait nvm
Get adblock and noscript. That should take care of all the unwanted bullshit and let you download it (if you click on the direct link).
I second that. Never had any problem downloading from Sourceforge, except the fact that the automatic download never works.
