OK. 12558 doesn't have the recent changes to the Docs, but it does seem to run my programs alright - Yay.
I notice on sourceforge files download page: 1) You can nominate a default download for operating systems such as Windows, Mac or Linux. I'm not sure if that is any use to us even on Windows, because people still have to make a choice of 32 or 64 bit. 2) Logged in as me, at the bottom of the download page sourceforge has a nudge reading "You should add a README file <https://sourceforge.net/p/forge/documentation/Files-Readme/>, to provide release notes. It will be shown right here." We should probably add such a file to help people select the correct download. When another version is available I will download it and see if I still get the 11 minute delay and I will try to see what processes (if any) are active during that time.
