Sorceforge blocked downloads

Hi everyone! Hope you're all having a nice life! :)

I needed to download antiX 32bit to install it to a friend's pc and since I had the antiX's SF page bookmarked tried that first, turns out I can't download or do anything else in that site because of US sanctions as stated in new SF terms and conditions https://slashdotmedia.com/terms-of-use/:

Users residing in countries on the United States Office of Foreign Assets Control sanction list, including Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Venezuela, Sudan and Syria, may not post Content to, or access Content available through, SourceForge.net. Slashdot Media handles user Registration Data in accordance with the Sites’ Privacy Policy.

I used instead the evowise repo which still works.

The Tor browser is also an option, or a proxy server.

Just curious, how many GB/TB of downloads do all MX releases use up per month, grand totaled across all mirrors, these days? Anyone know?

I know, I use protonvpn so I could've used that but still, is such a pain and a dissapointment.

antiX is not responsible for SF policy. But, the good news is that we offer plenty of download mirrors as an alternative.

Indeed you do. I never meant to hold antiX reponsible for that cause I know it has nothing to do with it, I just thought you might want to know about it so I posted it.

If those are mirroring SF, does that mean the mirrors in affected countries also can't host antiX?

Seems SF changed its mind and I'm able to use the site again without a VPN or any of that sort.
