Developers of expensive commercial anti-virus products trying to hijack and infect your system- this is an abomination and a disgrace, but users accept and tolerate this malevolent practice. What is even more unacceptable for me is that developers of paid apps bundle their products with ad-ware,a practice now typical for even big and rich companies like Avast!, AVG, Avira, etc. Since then I am extremely careful with every installation- the cheating tricks the developers use are now more deceptive than ever- sometimes the user have to negate the so called ‘Free Offers’ two times. But falling in the trap of installation options might be a good lesson- once I virtually destroyed my system by installing a program (QIP messenger)- it hijacked all the browsers, the home page and the search provider and the infection was so deep that a re-installation of the OS was the only solution. If a programmer creates a good product they will be able to sell it. Once a friend of mine exclaimed- “Programmers need to make money too so for me it is acceptable that they bundle their products with toolbars and all kind of PUPs. While you may pay attention to all installers anyway, you should now do so even more for SourceForge downloads.Įxcellent comment! I totally agree but most people- both developers and users think, that bundling products with ad-ware is quite normal and just fine.

There needs to be a better option to download the real setup or program file right away though to provide users with the full download of the software as well. I can definitely see the benefit of including an installer with third party offers, especially since the money (all of it?) goes right into the funding of the software projects.

For FileZilla, that is a zip download of the application that you can download as well.

Now, the main Windows download leads to the SourceForge Installer even though it is not displayed here. You need to browse to the folder containing the last version of the application, which can be done with a couple of clicks. Click on the browse all files link underneath the big green download link on the project's homepage on the SourceForge website.

If you prefer to install the program without installer included, you can do so at least for some projects. So, no changes for those operating systems.

You won't notice any difference if you are download versions for Linux or Mac, as they do not come with the installer included. There is no mentioning of the SourceForge Installer when you click on a file to download it to your system. The core difference here is that on SourceForge, software developers profit from the inclusion, while they do not profit at all from it on third party download sites.

While that is a legitimate cause, it at the same time puts the site into a shady corner of the Internet right next to other illustrious sites such as. It aims to offer a new funding option for Open Source projects. Programs like FileZilla or Hotspot Shield have joined SourceForge's DevShare program which is currently in beta. This is in fact similar to how some download portals are offering downloads right now. Instead, you download something called SourceForge Installer which bundles the software with third party offers used for monetization.
