Once SourceForge started bundling malware with their binaries a couple of years 
ago I felt it was Game Over for them.

GitHub feels well-run in comparison, and also well-funded. It's also a lot 
simpler to use, once you get over the initial hump of switching from CVS or 
Subversion to Git for version control.

I notice Apple, Microsoft and IBM are using it. That's a decent endorsement.

And while not an ideal outcome, Google shut down their Google Code service 
because of how successful GitHub was.

GitHub would use a content distribution network internally.

AFAIK SourceForge never had any mirrors in or near Australia so that point is a 
bit academic from where I sit.
