SourceForge
SourceForge is a web-based service that offers a source code repository, downloads mirrors, bug tracking and other features.
Description
SourceForce acts as a central location that software developers can use to control and manage free and open source software development.
SourceForge was one of the first to offer this service for free to open source projects.
Adware concerns
In May 2015, SourceForge took control of pages for 5 projects that had migrated to other hosting sites and replaced the project downloads with adware-laden downloads. Community concerns have triggered a prompt review of SourceForge mirroring program and third-party bundling of mirrored content was discontinued May 27.
Statistics
As of March 2014, the SourceForge repository claims to host more than 430,000 projects and has more than 3.7 million registered users, although not all are active.
