Hi,
I see that we've gotten quite a number of positive reviews in the relatively new voting feature at Sourceforge[1]. I was looking over the "Thumbs Down" votes to see what the user complaints are an a vast majority of them relate to the poor download process provided by SF. Mirrors not working or being outdated, long delays redirecting to a mirror, broken links, etc -- is there any way we can improve this process? Some projects provide a direct link to one of the mirrors as a second option to the normal download link, though I don't know if SF allows that in this case. Perhaps Sourceforge needs to be notified of the problems people are encountering and nagged until it's fixed. I don't know what's best, I'm just asking.
But really, the percentage of happy users is extremely high, kudos to the team!

Could you relate these complaints about mirrors, with a specific "x days ago" number?

I just looked through them and it seems like these are the complaint dates: 52/45/70/111/65/130/52/108/21/71 days ago.
I see no particular average here, perhaps SourceForge just randomly breaks?
Nonetheless, phpMyAdmin looks to be doing great. :)
