I have noticed this as well. Persistence and patience are the key. I find 
that trying a few times (with some brief waiting periods in between 
attempts) usually does the trick.

On 04 January, 2001 - Nix sent me these 0.5K bytes:

 Whoever is providing anonymous CVS, it's broken.

Some of them are, not all.

Name:anoncvs.gnome.org
Addresses:  142.92.65.13, 192.58.206.110, 209.81.8.253, 130.239.18.151
Aliases:  anoncvs.gimp.org

There are aliases anoncvs1.gnome.org - anoncvs4.gnome.org as well

1 and 3 (I admin #3) are working, 2 seems to not respond (routing
problems) and 4 has chmod problems. CC:ing the server admins.

 You can't check out or update anything with any tag at all.

Try again.. the broken server should be fixed, but try again until you
hit a working one.
