Windows7 Home-Premium on Dell Inspiron 7010 Laptop; Firefox v49.0-x86 and Firefox v57.0-x86 Browsers; Cyberfox Portable v52.5.2 (x32) was also used and yielded same results. Sourceforge links do not load: (None of these work; Just hangs there and then times-out)

Also:

Hand-copied urls and manually pasted into firefox download manager; After ten minutes it timed out (No connection was made)



Several attempts have also been made on a second computer; similar description and yielding same results.

ISP is ''dial=up'': That is all that is available in my location.

I really wanted the portable version but none of the links worked on the www.portable-apps website either.

It appears that many opensource organizations depend heavily on Sourceforge as their provider; My experience and that of several of my associates have all experienced download problems with Sourceforge loading and activating software downloads. Many downloads go the full gammet to 95% and then CRASH. Sourceforge does not carry a good reputation for download sites anymore.
