&gt; For quite a few of us, there&#x27;s no one offering the services SourceForge does.<p>Garbage. Not even close to true. It may be inconvenient to use other hosting systems but this is 2016 and there&#x27;s an embarrassment of alternatives to SourceForge. It might require bolting a few different systems together to make it work, but it&#x27;s doable.<p>&gt; If we move off SourceForge, we&#x27;ll have to self-host and figure out a way to cover the expense of that.<p>GitHub offers a lot of free hosting, including downloads, but it&#x27;s a little trickier to use than SourceForge. There&#x27;s also very inexpensive hosting via other providers where bandwidth is very cheap to free, and many offer steep discounts for open-source projects.<p>I&#x27;m dismayed the community put up with SourceForge as long as it did.<p>Where&#x27;s the open-source SourceForge alternative? That&#x27;s what we need. Even if SourceForge does clean up its act, nobody should be held hostage there. Same goes for GitHub or any other &quot;mission critical&quot; service. Too big to fail is a problem.
