SourceForge is a free software repository.

It's really old, ad supported, adware supported. And yet, it is still alive.

It hosts code migrated from BerliOS[1] which shut down.

Shutdown?

2015: Admins hijacking projects to add more adware

Site Structure

Download files can be found on public ftp mirrors, priority on the rest of the site then download files last? e.g. http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/ftp.sourceforge.net/

CVS/svn/git/hg/bzr repositories should be a priority; many projects do not have their source code on the ftp mirrors.

The main API is documented here: http://sourceforge.net/p/forge/documentation/Allura%20API/ and allows unauthenticated access to most services. It also can indicate what revision control system is used.

Appropriate tools, (such as git clone -m and svnrdump) can be used to backup, but SF suggests using rsync regardless of the actual revision control system used.
