SourceForge
Open-source project hub
SourceForge is a web-based platform for hosting and distributing open-source software projects.
Launched in 1999, it became the dominant hub where developers collaborated on code and users downloaded free software.
Its reputation declined after the mid-2000s as competitors like GitHub emerged and controversies arose over bundled adware in downloads.
I found an old utility on SourceForge.
