Is SourceForge safe to use?

Post by RedSnt »

I love qBittorrent, it has exceeded all my expectations since I made the switch from µtorrent. 
But when qBittorrent asked if I wanted to go to the download page to update and I saw SourceForge I was reminded of the GIMP scandal earlier this year. 
So the question is whether or not the qBittorrent installer hosted on SourceForge is safe to use?

For now I'll download the installer from FossHub.

FossHub is better than SourceForge in my opinion so use that one ;).
