For probably the dozenth time on this mailing list, that is an
advertisement on the top of the Downloads page which is clearly marked as
such which you are clicking on. If you'd like to fund the development &
hosting of the software, you're welcome to write a check; otherwise,
advertisements are needed. And the content of those advertisements cannot
be controlled by the TSVN developers - they are provided by Google's
service.
