Who is distributing their distro via Sourceforge?? I'm not aware of any large projects that still use them for hosting. And distros in particular don't usually go through those types of hosting services since they prefer to offer HTTP mirrors instead. You might want to see what kind of speeds you get from the OSUOSL mirror since they have most of the major projects. If it's too slow, then you probably need a better wifi network.
I would say that any ISO downloaded from their servers has a 100% chance of containing malware.
