They used to bundle adware in fairly deceptive ways. See

Hi,
Out of curiosity, what makes Sourceforge unsafe? The website is using cookies
and I see advertisements. Is there something else?

Aihe: Re: [Geoserver-users] Alternate (safe) host for geoserver stable release
Ian, thanks for your answer.
We already did such for other tools for similar reasons (so I guess this answers
"how much paranoia your company wants to pay for").
But in a less extremist way, I was wondering if geoserver community has more
than the single SF deposit for release artifacts, some I could more easilly
trust.
Emilio's note about checksum/signatures would indeed be a very good improvement
towards security.
