First of all, you filed a bug against the cinnamon desktop environment source package rather than raising an issue through the proper channels for the Ubuntu Cinnamon flavor, which is inappropriate, so this is being marked as invalid.

Second of all, it's reasonable to assume the sourceforge downloads are for pre-official status because Ubuntu Cinnamon was only granted official status as of Lunar. Therefore, from lunar onward, the .iso images come from cdimages.u.c whereas prior images would come from sourceforge since it was a remix and unofficial before.

Changed in cinnamon (Ubuntu):

For Ubuntu Cinnamon, it was still in remix status during the dev cycle, that's why you'll see some unofficial ISO's on sourceforge.

Joshua - I think the actual issue is that the link from the official flavours pages opens the ubuntu cinnamon web-page ... which is fair enough. The download link on the website is to sourceforge. That needs to be updated now to download from the official cdimage link.
