Mainly, because we already have aminet and people know that whenever they want something "Amiga" thats were they go.
I never, ever intend to slight Urban and crew. I think for the last x years, the job they've done has been very admirable. I just feel that the Aminet concept is about 10 years past it's prime and desperately unusable (at least to me). This is not intended to reflect on Urban, this is more a reflection of the lack of update and change over the last 10 years. Oh, wait, I forgot, you Amiga users don't actually **like** change, do you.... :-P
Our little thing is not intended to replace the Aminet. For a fact, it will carry mostly useful files such as drivers, etc. We certainly wouldn't have the hard drive space for another Aminet to begin with.
Our SourceForge implementation on the other hand... Very much intended to give developers a place to build their projects and work with teams... Once projects are done, why not store them here?
