This kind of stuff is something I really dislike because in every
reply I have to remove some lines. I'm bothered by such stuff!

Hmm, I'm not really sure if we wouldn't have success if we would ask
SourceForge to implement some features you are missing. What exactly
do you miss there?

OK, I found this out but I belong to the people who really dislike cookies
especially from sites full of advertising.
Switching cookies on and off just to obtain a single file is hard.
Even harder is that I can't use my default way to obtain files. Normally
I use wget to get files. It is the fastest and straightforeward way.

Hmm and possibly some additional spam?
