SourceForge.net provides a File Manager as a means for projects to make files available for download by their users. In addition to the web based File Manager, SourceForge provides an interactive-shell service for managing files. The File Manager and the interactive shell service provide different methods to manipulate the same files and folders. See Accessing Releases via Shell later in this document for more information.

Files released using the File Release System (FRS) are automatically distributed to our worldwide network of download mirrors, ensuring file availability, and providing great download performance to users.

All file releases should be a single file. Multiple files for the same release should be archived together (tar, deb, zip, etc.). We recommend using rsync for all uploads over 20 megabytes in size, as rsync allows for resuming canceled or interrupted transfers.
