I am somewhat also concerned that this software was still being distributed on SourceForge.

Yes, I stopped using SourceForge after they started tampering with installers to put adware inside of them.

It's a bit worrying that a sensitive app such as VeraCrypt is still distributed there.

		That was 11 years ago, under DHI Group though. I don't think Slashdot Media have been up to the same shady stuff.

But think about it, if they were on Github now, which is owned by Microsoft, would there be even further consequences?

I don’t even understand how SourceForge still exists!

Depending on GitHub and Microsofts largesse there surely is much better. See OP.

Why?

~2015, "DevShare". They wrapped open-source software downloads with opt-out adware and PUPs (potentially unwanted programs), without the original developers' consent in some cases. They took over abandoned/unmaintained projects (like GIMP for Windows, VLC, etc.) and replaced the original download with their adware-wrapped version.

		Note that it's meaningless to call out "PUPs" as that category includes many things that are developed and distributed on sourceforge, like torrent clients.
