What clients can I use for source control with CodePlex?

You can view or download the source code for any project directly from the website without needing to be registered or logged in. Just go to the Source Code tab for the project and click on the "Download" or "Browse" link. Any updates made in source control by the project developers will automatically be publicly available to browse or download under that project's Source Code tab on the CodePlex web site.

The following lists the source control clients available for use with CodePlex:

If you are not a developer or coordinator on a project -

If you are not a developer on a project then you have two choices you can use to anonymously access the source control repository:
  • TortoiseSVN: A GUI source control client that integrates into Windows Explorer and provides edit-merge-commit and offline support.
  • CodePlex Client: A command line source control client that provides edit-merge-commit and offline support.

You could also try LizardTF from http://www.codeplex.com/lizardtf. This is a TFS native TortoiseSVN clone.

Why isn't everyone allowed to access the TFS server? It would be really helpful to be able to download new changesets even if one isn't allowed to check in changes...

FOR ANONYMOUS ACCESS, USE TORTOISE or CODEPLEX CLIENT

it worked for me when i downloaded source-code for blogengine using (https://blogengine.svn.codeplex.com/svn)

For starters, this is a 2008 project, so you'll need the 2008 explorer... or rather not. For everyone with team something, just CANCEL the connect to source control dialogue!
