#26402 are you happy now i deleted 15 gb worth of files

[claudemods101@gmail.com]

as shown in the photo provided i am the creator of a iso creator for linux aswell as many other projects
there for i provide my own isos with customs for others to daily drive and base isos for others to build off of with my software installed e.g for debian ubuntu and arch

ive recently deleted tones of isos and stuff around 40 gb to clear space and clutter and to organize things that was like 3-4 weeks ago

and just today i receive an email saying im using to much storage at the time my drive was around 25gb-30gb which ive now deducted from evan further are you seriously having a laugh
when you look at projects like https://sourceforge.net/projects/penguins-eggs/
which has well over 30gb being used and its not going to get any smaller he has tones of iso's and things

his project is quite a size compared to mine if i was to be honest ive been helping him with his project where and when i can but i have many projects which still dont take as much space as his so whats the deal here is it one rule for one and one for another ill be sure to keep an eye on his project size as i feel this is unfair

moving forward some sort of payment deal could benefit this service as im having to use a google drive to store my stuff now since i find sourceforge servers to be mostly unreliable and with emails being sent saying im using to much storage is their really any point using sourceforge for small or large projects in the long run specially from a updating point of view when changelogs and files are needed for the process

anything could happen i may need a file from 7 updates ao who knows what could hapgpen
im always deleting old files when i can and yet your now complaining about me taking to much space
clearly theirs a storage limit and a set bad servers
maybe this is no good for open source projects created from developers like my self

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out.
At the start of the month, this project was using 99GB of storage.
And the email you received was based on that.

You are probably okay with not removing anything else because you stated that a significant amount was taken out.

Thank you for your cooperation.
I apologize for the trouble this has caused.

Sincerely,
SourceForge Support

i still believe this is unfair because the project link im providing clearly has atleast 100gb if not more being used https://sourceforge.net/projects/penguins-eggs/ and its always around 100gb never less because of the project its a linux tool for cloning a system into a iso he supports and provides many linux distributions isos setup to build and clone off of just like my self since i have basically the same tool but smaller in different code and more reliable ive used his project in the past and i still help it to date whats the difference here i dont see any how am i suppose to know i am in the green an can continue with out my stuff being deleted because of favourtism based on downloads

replying with the statement im about to give below is not enough for me how can i continue using this service knowing at any time i could get an email because im not getting enough downloads specially being that its took you 2 years to send such a email my sourceforge always had a considerable size until last month ...........

Hello,

I understand your frustration, and I can see how the situation feels unclear. The key difference here is likely about file management and usage patterns. We support all projects and want to help them grow, but we also need to ensure that file storage remains sustainable across the board. It's not about favoritism or downloads, but rather about balancing the available resources fairly.

If you have concerns, it’s always a good idea to review your project’s file clean up tool: https://sourceforge.net/p/claudemods/admin/files-sf/large_files
to remove any outdated content that isn't actively contributing to the project.

Sincerely,
