You bet SF is bloated with ads :) Most of the ads are for Microsoft products, which struck me as a little ironic.

I see your concern is making .zip files easily available. Gitorious and Github, and probably the others, though I haven't used them, have web based interfaces to download individual files or the whole repo over http. This is somewhat less clean than Sourceforge's list of downloadable files though. If you are looking for a host with an easy web interface for users to download zips, I think http://code.google.com/projecthosting/ is much better than Sourceforge, which is now bloated with ads.

I just distribute my games as source code in .zip files. What's wrong with SVN or CVS anyway? They don't take long to learn how to use on a basic level, and using them is a worthwhile skill. If you're going to take the time to use version control, Mercurial, Git, or even Bazaar is a better choice these days. SVN is a much better choice than CVS if you're going to learn one of the "old style" central repository VCSes. BitBucket.org (Mercurial), Github.com (Git), or Launchpad (Bazaar) are all free and have issue tracking etc. all for free. S
