Just a heads up: a very recent change in LMS (-Non-blocking TLS
handshake-) seems to be "exposing" SourceForge shortcomings.

With this change:

  
- My music continues to play while waiting for the Plugin tab to load,
  instead of grinding to a halt, as it often did. This is very welcome.
- I'm seeing on the Plugin tab (if I've had to wait a while for it to
  load):
  
-Bad repository
  https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/bpaplugins/betarelease-repo.xml
- Connect timed out: Resource temporarily unavailable-
  
I haven't looked further. I would think that the LMS "timeouts" are
sensible. It does seem to confirm my previous suspicion that SourceForge
isn't, at present, the most suitable host for an LMS repo file.
