That must be a recent change then (as in, in the last few days). 
Sourceforge downloads are the most common instance of me seeing an
ibiblio link and not even bothering to click it.  I know these are
some harsh words for the ibiblio crew (if there are any reading this),
but I think it's a shame that the services have sunk so low.  UNC has
been a pioneer in many OSS areas, and I'd like to see them get the
respect they deserve.  But, rightly or wrongly, download sites with
poor bandwidth generally suggest "small time and/or half-assed".  My
suspicion is that some bean-counter is to blame, so don't think I'm
casting my aspersions towards the technical side of the house.
