[Slackbuilds-users] Sourceforge access issue

Dear all,
What is the opinion on the current Sourceforge debacle, where access is
denied by those sanctioned by the US?
http://sourceforge.net/blog/clarifying-sourceforgenets-denial-of-site-access-for-certain-persons-in-accordance-with-us-law/
Since a lot of the Slackbuilds use Sourceforge sources, it effectively
means cutting off quite a lot of users from a significant part of
Slackbuilds. But setting up dedicated hosting with the sources might be
a bit excessive and duplication of effort.
Is there any way of estimating the kind of bandwidth shifted through
Slackbuilds? I would assume that is next to impossible with no sources
on-site.

Yours,
Morten
