Advanced Open Source Project Hosting?

Posted by Cliff on Thursday May 1, 2003 @03:00AM from the when-you-outgrow-the-typical-answers dept.

asn0 asks: "How do large/popular Open Source/Free Software projects manage their needs for hosting, bandwidth and mirrors? What limitations are there to the size/popularity of projects a site like SourceForge can/will support? Where does a project go for hosting and bandwidth once it out-grows SourceForge, and how hard is it to get hosting, bandwidth and mirrors to support a growing open source project?"

Perhaps, but I find that most of the features in SF are a real pain in the ass. Most imporantly, the bug tracking system. Why can't they use bugzilla? File upload is also quite antiquated. I seriously question that a big project should use sf.
