SoureForge is hosted at Above.Net, a tier 1 ISP that is one hop from
MAE West, and is multiply connected with an almost staggering
bandwith as you can see here:

  http://www.above.net/network/network.html

I also know the hardware and software at SF fairly well (I used to
work at VA right next to the SourceForge guys (the called "Cold
Storage")).  You're not running into load problems.  See the
following for hardware specs:

  http://sourceforge.net/docs/site/hardware.php

I suspect your performance problems are due to intercontinental
bandwidth, not SourceForge directly.
