9 years ago I'd like to second this.
Over the weekend, Sourceforge's download pages were completely inaccessible for >24 hours, so I couldn't download Clover at all. Having a mirror here would've been nice.
But... I'd say that moving away from Sourceforge completely would be even better. Over the past few months, Sourceforge has received criticism from the wider internet community for injecting advertisements into Windows installers against project owners' wishes. Though I doubt the SF admins will manage to monetize Clover any time soon, SF just can't be trusted anymore, and escaping from it would only benefit this project.
Today I saw that Clover_v2k_r3113.zip was released in sourceforge. There was a lot of errors and even when I got to the page it still couldn't download from there.
I remember that SF used to give several different mirrors to pick from and had a default considering your location/etc, this time there was only this mirror from WAIA (Western Australia Internet Association) and either it was also bogus/broken or didn't get the file from SF.
Which is not a huge deal (as I believe it will be available eventually) but having an extra mirror and I believe that releases here in github would be enough even if you keep source forge as the main recommendation to where it should be downloaded from.
