Summary

Sourceforge is one of the worst download websites on the face of the internet, it makes BlissOS almost impossible to download this. Servers constantly go down, the direct download link not working, slow download speed, random javascript issues, and just really bad confusing UI overall.

There are plenty of much better, viable alternatives to it. Google drive, mega, dropbox. Imo a great option would be to use a torrent, which would be faster download speeds and once other seeders go up it wouldn't cost you anything extra to host a server.

This are currently not viable options, Bliss has high storage and bandwidth requirements. Having proper direct download support is essential too. Google drive, Mega, and Dropbox all have limitations that make it unsuitable. As for torrents, a paid host would still be necessary due to bandwidth and storage constraints.

cmon man I am downloading with the speed of 56kb/s on source garbage forge with a 1gbps connection, use literally anything and it would be 1000x better than this trash website.

UPDATE: dropped to 20kb/s I fucking hate this website
