SourceForge Goes Down, Open Source Becomes Unavailable Source

It would appear as if one of the largest open source repositories is down (observed at 11:15 PM Eastern). Whether or not this is truely an outage or just maintenance we are not sure of, but I am sure that it chose a great time to go down.

NOT.

I became aware of the issue whilst attempting to re-download Notepad ++, for a project we’re working on here at Erictric. So if you’re unable to access SourceForge pages — you’re certainly not the only one.

Update: We’ve just checked again this morning, and the site appears to be up and running.
