Hmm, apparently both source forge and code.google have started blocking access from Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan and Syria.

Re: My Problem!!!!!!
I thought it was the other way 'round?
Are they striking back?
Maybe people should fight back and boycott those services.
Makes them no better than the countries they are blocking, IMO.

Right. It's the US and it's fight against terrorism:
Looks like we can't blame Google, nor Sourceforge..The countries banned are those that the US government considers to be supporters of terrorism. As a US company, Sourceforge cannot export goods (including software) to any of those countries without a license.

Re: My Problem!!!!!!
Correct, it's a legal issue -- since both of those organizations are based in the US they have to follow US law about export restrictions. Obviously Google is US-based, but so is SF (less obviously):
http://sourceforge.net/aboutSourceForge.net is owned and operated by Geeknet, Inc., a publicly traded US-based company.

Re: My Problem!!!!!!
Probably you can download from mirrors located in other parts of world like UK, australia...
Or you can use public proxy server - I dont know if this is illegal but it can wo1rk around blocking firewall
Here is one download link (MSVC2005) from uk, but it appears to still have sourceforge.net attach to the end of it, so it probably still doesn't work:
http://kent.dl.sourceforge.net/project/ ... 5_VC80.exe

terrorism became form poverty, ignorance and ... (maybe like dogma) in this countries .

one thing you can do, although it might be slow, is to use TOR :

Re: My Problem!!!!!!
Seems like Sourceforge worked around the problem. Projects now can explicitely allow access from blacklisted countries
Enough is never enough.
