The SF debacle with the GIMP Windows install file should not affect an ISO file, hopefully. Since it does not depend on an executable file, such as .exe, to unpack and install the .iso file, there would not be any chance for them to insert some "extras". Well, that said, the only way it would happen would be for them to recreate the .iso file itself. The only thing that is executable is the auto loading the DVD's initial HTML file to the browser, within Windows of course. I do that for ease of use for a Windows user, since the most OS downloads were/are from Windows systems. Of course, Debian based Linux systems just show an icon on the "open desktop" when the DVD is inserted in the reader/burner. Much prefer Linux's security, and free software, over Windows for most of my needs.
YES, it would be great to have the ISO file uploaded to a TDF server. If there was another free service, such as SF, for a free repository for files as large as a DVD, i.e. 3.7 to 4.0 gig in size, I would like to know. My hosting service does not allow such file sizes and no repository functioning within its service contract.
My only issue for uploading the ISO file[s] is the fact that my upload speed for my Internet access is slow, where it can take 10 hours +/- to upload and my web access is almost nonexistent while the uploading is going on - i.e. do it at night with no monitoring for connection and/or system issues.
