You are the victim of a common scam. You go to a page for downloading
something and you expect to see a "Download" button. The scammer rents
and add on that page and the add consists on a prominent "Download"
image that is linked to the scammer's product (or malware).
The real "Download" button or link is elsewhere on that page. In fact,
on Sourceforge the download will start after a few seconds without you
pressing anything, but you shouldn't need to know that.
On an add-based download site (or any download site, actually), always
check the hyperlink before clicking. If the hyperlink doesn't look sane
to you, don't click.
Yes, it sucks.
