 Err, if it managed to download one file, it should be able to the rest,
 too, at least AFAICS).
 
 Maybe you should try a different cvsup mirror:
 
 http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html

I've tried that several times with mirrors from all over the place (both
the Brazilian ones, which should be optimal to me, and
cvsupNN.freebsd.org and several others).  I managed to get cvsup to
update a very small part of the tree when I just switched from
RELENG_4_8 to '.' as the tag (which is supposed to fetch current,
right?).

So I have no idea what to do now. :-(

 (at the end of the page there is a mirror list).
 
 You could also use ports/sysutils/fastest_cvsup to find the most
 responsive mirror for you.

I tried that, too, but thanks for the notice.

Anyone else has any advice, anything I should try at all?  This is
really annoying...

Thanks,

Can't get cvsup to work behind NAT

Hi folks,

This is my first time installing and running FreeBSD, so I decided I'd
give it a shot in VMware first so I could be free to do stupid things.

Anyway, I have the system installed now, got some ports and all, and
wanted to check out RELENG_4_8 from a cvsup mirror to bring the system
up to date, but it just won't work.  Sometimes it gets stuck updating
src/UPDATING (to be sure, I erased it, and it manages to download it
again), but that's as far as it goes.  cvsup(1) says that if I can reach
the server's port 5999, I'm good to go.

Am I doing something wrong?

The host operating system behind VMware is Linux (Debian sid), by the
way.

Thanks,
