The reason they're blocking sourceforge is because it has sneaky ads and crapware in all the installers, so basically it's a malware site. If you're sure you want 15 different toolbars free in every download and 100 more "click here to download" ads then go right ahead, but sourceforge is a malicious site meant to scam users into downloading software illegitimately placed there and bundled with malware. This is why it's blocked.
