Improvements via SourceForge Community Hub by Ross Turk on 5/16/08

One of the things about having a site where you ask people to store
things on your infrastructure is that, no matter how well you plan,
you’re bound to outgrow your capacity eventually. We call it being
“loved to death”, and it’s something we’re constantly battling against.
I’m pleased to announce that one major skirmish in this battle was won
yesterday, when we redeployed our download service with major
functional improvements!
First off: no more of that nasty, insecure anonymous FTP for uploading
files. Instead, project admins can upload in a few different ways:
SSL-enabled web-based form, WebDAV over SSL, sftp, or rsync over SSH.
The files that you upload will be going into per-user directories, so
you’ll only see the files you’ve uploaded, instead of seeing everyone
else’s. That also means we were able to increase the amount of time
that files remain in the upload directory from 24 hours to 7 days, so
you can resume your upload using rsync over SSH up to a week later if
your transfer fails and you can replace it immediately if you uploaded
the wrong file.
We’ve updated our site documentation for these new features, and we
encourage everyone who cares about publishing files using
SourceForge.net to give it a once over.
Thanks for your support!
Ross
