The folks at SourceForge.net have published their September 30, 2003 news update. "SourceForge.net is approaching its 4-year birthday. Forty-six months ago the site started off with only a handful of second-hand computers, two megabits of bandwidth, a few hundred projects, and a goal. The goal was, and continues to be, to create a place for Open Source projects and the Open Source community to thrive and be successful. When we launched the site, we never dreamed that it would be so successful, or that its growth rate would be so high. Today, we host nearly 70,000 projects on 85 computers. The amount of bandwidth we consume at any one time, including the mirrors, is approximately 225 megabits. We continue to add about 700 new users and 70 new projects per day. In fact, we just crossed our 700,000 registered user milestone."
