Yeah GH is not good with that. The API is designed to the people 
who have a facade for the product either on their own site or on 
the .io site.

SourceForge is better for the distribution; they have plenty of 
mirrors in foreign countries (the cloud existed before the 
cloud...) and DL count is well displayed.
Despite of the critism they've got since once one year, this is a 
fact, distribution is still a SF strength.

The GH "thing" is clearly more collaboration-social.
