    Fascinating that someone is clueful to write a whole 142 characters of derogatory commentary ... yet clueless enough to somehow consider sourceforge to be something bad. Seriously, that was an utterly unnecessary comment.

    I was ready to ask you about details and then my Firefox on i7 froze as well. What a horrible website, it makes gazillions requests to github simultaneously. Perfect example of Javascript abuse worthy a simple static page to me.
