"It was a kind of souped-up SourceForge, rather than a serious GitHub competitor."

You have no idea how much better the user experience of Google Code was compared to SourceForge. Especially from the project maintainer side.

I have no idea if SF still does this, but not too many years ago to upload your files you had to upload them using SSH into a folder shared between all projects, then select your download file out of those when creating the download link.

SourceForge has come far since way back then. All the tools have been rewritten on an open source platform in the past few years. https://sourceforge.net/create/ And the weird upload system... that was replaced 7 years ago: http://sourceforge.net/blog/download-system-improvements/
