7-Zip for Linux

Is there a non-sourceforge mirror? My pi.hole lists block that domain, and likely for good reason.

For a while they were bundling in spyware with popular downloads, which would not have been stopped by an adblocker, and common sense would have dictated it wasn't there to begin with. They've since stopped now that the site has changed hands again, as far as I know.

Well they laced their downloads with malware for a period.
