As a few people have pointed out the code repository was down the last few days this was a big bummer. This happened because ucsc’s engineering did a migration to Gforge Advanced Server and there was some downtime in between. But now it should all be working with a new the new & updated code management system.The new metavid code repository can be accessed here.
Also we have updated the links 
If you find a dforge link let us know, also if you previously had a developer account on dforge you will need to recreate it to re-join the metavid development.
Our apologies for the downtime.
