floris v brings up an excellent tangent to the download site question:

Now that the AOO podling and ASF Infra now have a direct relationship with SourceForge (a long established and reputable download site) for handling parts of our AOO downloads, it also means that we can expect them to quickly address issues if we raise them.
We've already seen elsewhere that Roberto and the SF team are eager to work productively with us, so this is a win in terms of our ability to ensure that there *aren't* any bogus downloads of confusingly similarly named software hosted on SourceForge - or if there are, they'll be willing to work with us on the issue.
We discussed the general issue of advertisements with the PPMC and with Apache Branding, and while the ASF does not allow advertisements on any apache.org owned domain, in specific cases it is fine for sites like SourceForge to show ads on their own domain name while serving our downloads.
