I'm always amazed when I find a project that is still using Sourceforge. I always assume that it is completely unused by any active projects anymore. MX Linux was the most recent one I came across. Their ISOs are on sourceforge, although they use Github for their main repo.
And...apparently Sourceforge was bough by Slashdot in 2019?! Wow. Two early-2000s heavyweights right there.
OpenMediaVaukt also uploads there
They still make an acceptable FTP server for backing up your huge tarballs.
Github is more involved, you need to create a release and then attach files to it. With sf.net you jist do a FTP upload.
Sourceforge or Github for backup? Are you silly?
