Source Forge has been doing this for a while now, not just gimp.
Pretty sure I downloaded Synergy and it deceivingly downloaded a common installer which was small and installed adware as it downloaded the proper executable which you desired to download in the first place
- DanBC 11y agoThere are two problems. 1) wrapping the software in the sourceforge installer which includes adware. (That's what you mention). 2) having a page that looks like an official project page and distributing the software. This is bad for bla bunch of reasons, including 1) above.
