SourceForge mirror

National broadband company Internode has launched a high-speed Australian mirror site to SourceForge.net, one of the largest Open Source software development website.

SourceForge provides free hosting to Open Source software development projects with a centralised resource for managing projects, issues, communications and code.

Internode’s SourceForge mirror, which is unmetered for Internode customers, brings the total amount of mirrored content on its servers to more than 32 terabytes (TB). The company provides Australians with high-speed access to its mirrored content, which reflects data held on popular servers in the US, by maintaining deep peering relationships with major companies, both in Australia and overseas.

Technical Leader Content Services, Kingsley Foreman, said “Increasingly, future software will come from the international collaboration that emerges from the Open Source community, so Internode is pleased to make it even easier for this to happen.”
