Question: Alternative download links for Mac and Windows? (No Sourcforge)

• skrebbel 11y ago
  Looks like Fosshub has it: http://www.fosshub.com/GIMP.html http://www.fosshub.com/GIMP.html (to anyone who knows this: it looks to me like fosshub wants to be the anti-sourceforge, the new home for binary opensource downloads, and that they're non-evil. is this true?)

    It seems legitimate, and I agree with their stance (if not their tone) in the "Controversy" section of their FAQ. I'd love to see them put out a tool similar to Ninite, though I don't know if they have the resources to allocate for that.

      Thank you for the confidence! We can assure you that our intentions are "good". As for the Ninite suggestion, unfortunately (since FossHub is NOT after the money) we don't have the financial resources to add such a tool. Maybe later. Thanks again!

        May I ask why you're running the site anonymously?
        • FossHub 11y ago
          Sure! We run the site anonymously for the same reason as others - keep phishing attempts away, minimize spam, increase the security by eliminating social hacking attempts and a few other reasons that are well-known by law enforcement agencies. We did tried to run without the "privacy" option enabled and we were forced to activate it. We acknowledge that this might raise some questions but as long as we deliver a trustworthy service this shouldn't matter too much for our users.

    Yes we do have the GIMP binaries as we took them directly from GIMP.org - the official homepage. The files are 100% clean, feel free to download them. Thank you!
