CVS is delayed because the files have to be copied over to the anonymous server. rsync access is delayed because the files have to get mirrored on opendarwin's server.
Unlike sourceforge's anon cvs that, when it works at all, can very well be several days out of sync (4 days right now), rsync is updated very quickly and regularly (hourly I think).

The nice thing about rsync is that it is rather easy to use by hand (man rsync). If you want to get a listing of the available files or pull just one or two updated files, you can do it easily. For example
rsync opendarwin.org::finkinfo/10.2-gcc3.3/stable/main/finkinfo/x11/
gives you a listing of the available files in that directory, including modification dates. For the server syntax, instead of "opendarwin.org::", you can also use "rsync://fink.opendarwin.org" or even "rsync://master.us.finkmirrors.net".
