Hi, we need a free private svn where to put files regarding our half-life 2 mod. It must be private because we want to relase the game when we decide, and dont want people to download the source. So is there any site out there?

Why not just run a subversion server yourself on a NAS or something similar, and open up the SVN port via your router? I've done that before without too much hassle. Use appropriate auth for the repository and you should be fine.

I asked just because I can't host my own SVN.

If you have a computer and an Internet connection, you can host it ; maybe it won't be really fast and all that, but it would probably be enough to work in a small team, and wouldn't cost you anything.But note that, if you host your SVN server yourself, you definitly have to think about backups (on another machine, and, ideally, in another location -- like the computer of another member of the team), in case you hard disk / machine crashes ^^ (it's also true for any other "important files" related functionnaly, btw)

Why host yourself, still running the risk of data loss due to a hardware failure and all the other headaches, when there are free solutions like unfuddle.com out there that do it all for you automatically?

I'm not sure what your exact requirements are, but I use Unfuddle for a few projects. The free plan provides you with 200MB storage, access for two people, unlimited repos, milestone management, bug tracking, RSS and iCal support, etc. Give it a look.

Origo provides the following services (for free) for both open- and closed-source projects:
- An SVN repository (with web interface)
- A template project wiki page (you're looking at one right now)
- An issue tracker with tag support
- A place to put your releases (ftp upload, API based upload)

Run Subversion yourself on your own server, and use SSH (if security is really important to you) to tunnel across from clients to server. You'll need to port forward across your router.
Running an SVN server is pretty trivial on any platform. See this svn+ssh tutorial for more info.

Check InDefero, there is a free plan with private projects. InDefero is a clone of GoogleCode.

It all boils down to how many contributors you have and how much space you need. I've tried http://beanstalkapp.com/, they offer a free account with 100mb space and up to 3 users. Doesn't offer encryption with a free plan though.
