I agree expressly with Ries.
I'm already watching the incidents on sf.net for a while and can conceive decisions to leave sf.net. Here is an article describing what's going on on sf.net:
http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/06/sourceforge-locked-in-projects-of-fleeing-users-cashed-in-on-malvertising/
In short, there are popular projects on sf.net which are hijacked by sf.net staff, because the original project maintainers abandoned it. The missing option to delete a sf.net project, lead into the takeover by staff.
In case of Gimp for Windows project, the example used in the article, the maintainers left sf.net for a while because of the irritating download buttons which mislead users to download useless and/or malicious software.
sf.net staff later added an adware installer without the consent of the Gimp developers. This takes effect for several other popular OSS projects on sf.net.
It seems that sf.net has realized the signs now and is willing to change the processes.
As LibreCAD project is actively maintained by us, we can confirm, that there is no adware included in the installers. We can't control the adware buttons appearing on the download page, but as the download usually starts automatically, there is no need to click one of the ad buttons.
And I don't know any case where sf.net modified installers of actively maintained projects.
A first look on fosshub.com shows me the same big green download buttons, which are not related to the desired download and lead to the user fleeing on sf.net. I'll risk a second look, with a bit more time, but I guess, that it is not a real option.
Using our librecad.org server for downloads would lead into raise of administration expense and mainly an explosion of server traffic and load. I don't know the limits of our account, but I'm afraid, that this may raise the costs for our server account considerable.
