@Sir_Substance - thank you for the kind mention. I agree with you but don't forget that any Empire will fall sooner or later. People work with enthusiasm at a new project, after a while this new excitement is replaced by greed because the financial thing becomes the most important aspect. At this stage I would say that GitHub is Google, SourceForge is Yahoo and FossHub aims to become DuckDuckGo. We need to improve so instead of throwing us at garbage we would appreciate a constructive criticism. Thank you!
Sure! We run the site anonymously for the same reason as others - keep phishing attempts away, minimize spam, increase the security by eliminating social hacking attempts and a few other reasons that are well-known by law enforcement agencies. We did tried to run without the "privacy" option enabled and we were forced to activate it. We acknowledge that this might raise some questions but as long as we deliver a trustworthy service this shouldn't matter too much for our users.
Yes we do have the GIMP binaries as we took them directly from GIMP.org - the official homepage. The files are 100% clean, feel free to download them. Thank you!
Thank you for the confidence! We can assure you that our intentions are "good". As for the Ninite suggestion, unfortunately (since FossHub is NOT after the money) we don't have the financial resources to add such a tool. Maybe later. Thanks again!
I think we (FossHub) can be the alternative for certain devs and most people were happy with the service we provided so far. Disclosure: I am a member of FossHub team.
FossHub, from a technological POV is no way different than Dropbox or any other service. FossHub relies on multiple sources to store the content and distribute this via multiple, separated locations. As for the most sharing services, I share your opinion and would like to assure you that FossHub is different. Disclosure: I am a member of FossHub team.
