I use cvsup12, cvsup13, cvsup6 from SW Missouri (and my upstream links go through NE Oklahoma, dunno if they are close to you or not). It might be worth the time to install /usr/ports/sysutils/fastest_cvsup to help find the fastest/nearest servers for your installation area. HTH, Kevin Kinsey -- Money is truthful.

It will probably work when I connect to the right site. It might be worth the time to install /usr/ports/sysutils/fastest_cvsup to help find the fastest/nearest servers for your installation area.
