Nope. See 
https://sourceforge.net/project/admin/editpackages.php?group_id=111220:

"Nightly builds (which would be updated each day) should be released to 
Project Web space, instead."

and https://sourceforge.net/project/admin/prweb.php?group_id=111220:

"File releases may not be made available via your project web space 
(unless you have received permission in writing from SourceForge.net 
staff), with the exception of nightly snapshots. File releases should be 
made available using the File Release System."

Snapshot file services are planned, see 
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1109940&group_id=1&atid=350001 
- despite the present time used while describing sandbox and snapshot 
services it is in fact not yet working, see 
https://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=2352&group_id=1:

"As of 2005-05-05 the requirement to store file snapshots in the as of yet 
to be release snapshot service has been rescinded until the service is 
made available. Until then, continue to use whatever your current 
mechanism is. Notice will be provided to project admins when we roll out 
the snapshot service to get those items moved over to the snapshot 
service."

See also 
https://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=4297&group_id=1:

"Nightly tarball Storage: The storage of nightly tarballs (snapshots, not 
the nightly tarball generated automatically as part of our CVS 
infrastructure) is not allowed in the project web space. Nightly tarballs 
should be stored using the Snapshot service, available to projects upon 
request (submit a Support Request to SourceForge.net staff).

As of 2005-05-05, the requirement to use the snapshot service is currently 
being deferred until a larger deployment of the snapshot service occurs. 
Notice will be sent to project admins at that time."

Other parts of the documentation are obviously written as if snapshot 
service was operational, but that is not true as I presented to you above.

Have a nice day.
