No, the "cooperation" will be mostly beneficial for your website. Stellarium uses SourceForge.net for most of its hosting, including file hosting. SourceForge already provides mirrors in multiple countries, ensuring fast download speeds and redundant download locations. In short, Stellarium has nothing to gain by adding another download link to its already cluttered homepage. Your website, on the other hand, will benefit from the increased traffic and search engines ranking. Stellarium's installers have been already "mirrored" by multiple software collection websites all over the Web. They are free to do so under the terms of Stellarium's license, the GNU GPL. But so far, none of these websites have been brazen enough to ask us to include a link to them. Please don't contact us any more.
