Nothing visibly came from any of those tickets.
It seems Google have a habit of ignoring you, unless you submit to
their rules and set up a webmaster account on their system. Ugh. :-(
Maswan (admin at acc.umu.se, the hoster for cdimage.d.o) has dug into
this, and it *seems* that our problem was totally unrelated to the
Debian ISO images themselves. Instead, a different Windows program
hosted elsewhere on the acc.umu.se download service has been flagged
as malware and that tainted everything hosted at their site. He's
cleaned up that file and as *far* as I can see the Debian ISO
downloads are working OK here, with no warnings from FF or Chromium.
I'm tagging this bug as done as it seems to be clear now. To the
submitters and anybody else listening: please re-open if you still see
a problem.
