In my experience, very. Although in the past few days there have been two periods of downtime (error as you report). The resource has been going through lots of changes over the past several months so some of the features of R-Forge have been offline (like the full build process) from time to time, but this is the first full outage I've been aware of for sometime. R-Forge hosts hundreds of projects and packages, which also attests to general reliability.
