If you are accessing CVS via SSH (developer), you should not have any problem. In fact CVS access has been very fast and reliable lately for me doing SSH access.
That's the good news. The bad news is that the reason SSH access is faster is that SourceForge is serving pserver (anonymous) access off a backup machine, and it is so overloaded that there have been many complaints. See the Souceforge site status page at http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=2352&group_id=1 for more information.
Last week I filed a support request for with them, but no action so far. Their suggestion that we make a tarball available doesn't really work for Boost, because a tarball is up to 10 megabytes, depending on the exact format.
Hope this explains what is happening to you (and others). We do care, and will keep working on Sourceforge to resolve the issue.
Thanks,
