Having another place to download copies of the official releases is a good idea. The issue is they changed the release. They advertised it as "mirror of Gimp-Win version X". And it wasn't. It was Gimp-Win version X with a boatload of adware / crapware. This made the Gimp-Win people upset that the crapware was being falsely associated with their product. If SF had advertised it as "SF Version of Gimp-Win with magic crapware", people would be less upset. And fewer people would download it, of course. Which isn't what SF wants. Their self-serving statement about "mirror" is a lie. The people who wrote it should be ashamed of themselves.
