I could not replicate this yet on the site as all downloads offered on FileHippo were served directly and without download manager. It is either a test or a roll out of the feature to users. I have just received word that FileHippo, a website recommended by quite a few users as one of the remaining "clean" websites, has added a custom download manager to its site which - who would have guessed that - includes adware offers as well.
Update: FileHippo does not use a download manager anymore I ran several tests and the selected programs were downloaded directly. The company did only make the download manager available first but added a direct download link to software profile pages on its site later on. When Cnet's started to offer custom download managers with adware offers, it was heavily criticized for it by part of the Internet community.
