Sourceforge image causing slow page load...

The Sourceforge link in the right column of this site is slowing page load to a crawl. It's taking up to 30 seconds or more for the XOOPS.org pages to load.

Fortunately, with Firefox, I can block loading images from Sourceforge. That made a day and night difference. Page loads are instantaneous when the image is blocked.

Core Team,

Are you permitted to cache the image locally? If not, is there a possibility of contacting the Sourceforge Admins and letting them know about the issue?

Note:
I'm on a 1.5+ Mbps DSL connection that is very reliable.

Thanks,

JMorris

Of course - but we'll lose our place as the project with the 10th most visitors on our site.

The sourceforge logo counts page impressions for our SF.net statistics.

Bummer! Well, just thought I'd mention it. Hopefully other visitors will pay attention to their browser status bar when visiting and realize that it's Sourceforge, not XOOPS that's slow.

Thanks for the clarification.
