In the last days the site was several times down. It was announced on the  
sourceforge homepage that this will happen.
Unfortunately I anyway received their unsubscribeable spam by email and  
still get their annoying cookie warning when visizting the page. It's a  
pity that so many good projects/commited coders are using sourceforge.

However, try again later.

At the moment it works.

That cloning the git is slow likely is an issue caused only by my ISP,  
since the ADSL connection isn't stable at the moment. There's an Internet  
connection for a few seconds and then it's completely lost for minutes.
