SourceForge ran into controversy in 2013-14 when it attempted to monetize the downloads with adware. Registered members can also rate and review software, similar to what you see on Play Store and App Store. The project page also shows which operating system is supported and which license is used.

SourceForge provides stats on downloads, so you can see whether the project is popular or not.

You can also browse software in various categories. You can find featured open source projects on its homepage, along with the editor’s choice projects. SourceForge boasts of hosting over thousands (could be close to a million or more) of projects and has millions of registered users.

SourceForge is one of the earliest portals to host and distribute open source software. Over the years, SourceForge has become one of the premier resources for open-source projects.
