Is this the same filezilla that is packed with adware? No thanks...

If I remember right it was Sourceforge, or rather the then owners of Sourceforge that caused that and other even more questionable things. There was quite an uproar about it..

Having said that I think it's also worth mentioning Sourceforge is again "under new management", this time for the better it seems. I remember reading something about it on reddit, which definitely seemed to be a positive change. So much so I dare say giving Sourceforge another chance may be worthwhile.

A search found this which seems to be what I was remembering about the Sourceforge changes for the better...

If you downloaded the Windows version from SourceForge, the modified SourceForge installer would offer to install other rubbish.
SourceForge have apparently stopped doing this now.
