After all the project hijackings and various other shenanigans going on with Sourceforge over the recent years, I've started to distrust Sourceforce so is there any mirrors for the Windows version of Dosbox anywhere?

Just get it from dosbox.com. it will link to Sourceforge, but the project is not abandoned and is the original installer. The devs have no control over anything from elsewhere.

Yup, as bad as SF is behaving, the crapware installer is only added to projects that opt-in (shame on them) and projects that SF views as abandoned. Unfortunately what they view as abandoned is debatable but Dosbox is definitely not abandoned in any view 😉
And the Dosbox devs will never opt-in to crapware 😉

So, the most secure download is the one hosted by SF. Yes that's true 😉
