    There have been a number of reports that Chrome and Google have listed and blocked the Sourceforge download site as unsafe due to a high instance of Adware, Malware and Virus being included in downloads! Notably I understand that both MPC and VLC no longer use Sourceforge as their official download partner. Are downloads of Media Portal from Sourceforge safe??????

    Sourceforge is doing something funny. I can't download any version of the binaries of either MediaPortal 1 or MediaPortal 2. The download 'countdown' goes to zero while spamming me with ads, then there is never any option to actually download. Clicking the 'direct link' goes to the same place. Switching mirrors does nothing. All spam, no way to download. Can anybody help me find anywhere other than sourceforge where I can actually download MediaPortal? Thanks!

    ^ should we share above on our facebook page? Have been contacted by a few people already. Is it safe to re-direct people via private PM to the above address? What about about public forum, is it ok to share the link?

    Thanks

    I found a copy already that looked legit on something called FileHippo. I'm glad to hear sourceforge is back to normal (though I hesitate to call it 'fixed'). Thanks. MediaPortal seems to be working fine after a little hacking and scripting.
