Perhaps, if there's so much concern about this SourceForge project, list
users could create one star reviews on the project page at
<http://sourceforge.net/projects/torbrowser/>, and put 'fake' or similar
in the comments??
According to the project page, there were over 300 downloads this week,
and it's been rated an everage of 4.4 out of 5.
My 2 cents.
