FYI the SourceForge version of FileZilla is clean, and has been since 2016. The official FileZilla installer has been doing this for some time now though. In case people don’t know, a lot has changed at SourceForge since my company acquired them in 2016. All projects are scanned for malware. We covered the improvements again here https://sourceforge.net/blog/brief-history-sourceforge-look-to-future/ https://sourceforge.net/blog/brief-history-sourceforge-look-...

- Fnoord 8y agoRegardless of that we can no longer trust the developers of FileZilla. If they need money, they should ask for donations instead. Patreon was suggested elsewhere in this thread.

- lightedman 8y agoGuys, we can't trust you because you've still failed to clean up Slashdot like you promised. Still have APK to deal with, you still don't even have basic unicode support, and your mobile version of the site is garbage. And you promised to fix that. Feel free to spam HN once again when you can announce you've fixed all of your problems. Until then, not many of us really want to hear from you.
