Trivial, technically, but can still be an unwanted cost for projects that push a lot of bits out. Our software at SF.net burns through several terabytes of bandwidth each year for several million package downloads. We've always appreciated their network of mirrors. But, it seems like it's time to move away from SourceForge.

We already relocated our revision control to github (though I'm considering another move to a self-hosted thing on Phabricator or gogs or gitlab, as I'm more cautious about using third party services for this kind of stuff these days).

The thing is, it's not exactly "their" network of mirrors. They mostly rely on third-party mirrors run by universities and other organisations that offer mirroring for free to a bunch of major open source projects and sites.
