Problem connecting to sourceforge

[Galadrion]

Hi,
I\'m trying to get PS built on my computer (Win 2000), but Win CVS will not connect to sourceforge to download the source code.
I have tried CS, CEL, planeshift modules, it all comes back with the following error:
cvs [checkout aborted]: connect to cvs.sourceforge.net:2401 failed: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.
the command line I am using (this one for CS) is: cvs -w -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/crystal checkout -P -- CS (in directory C:\\PS Development)
I got this from the build guide for MS Visual C++
I\'m thinking it is a problem on my end, just not sure what it might be. Possibly related, I get intermitent \"502 Bad Gateway\" errors when I try to load pages in the planeshift folders on sourceforge. Hit refresh and it works.
Any ideas on what the problem may be?

The problem is in the sourceforge and there is very little or nothing that PlaneShift community can do about it.

This is an issue with any projects that sourceforge is hosting, not only PlaneShift or CS. Just keep trying and you might be lucky to get your sources.

SF are bastards

OK, at least I know I\'m not messing up the command line.

Any way I can have a better chance to get it? Or do I just have to find a time when there are fewer people requesting files?
And do I have to go thru this each time there is an updated CVS?

SF just likes to crap out from time to time.  I don\'t even think it\'s a volume issue.  They just suck.

Give it another try in a day or two.

You also can get the tarball snapshot, and then checkout from that:

lftp http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cvstarballs/
> get planeshift-cvsroot.tar.bz2
cvs -z3 -d`pwd`/planeshift-version co \"2006-03-01 00:00:00\" planeshift

worked for me (though that version doesn\'t work with the current server)

Unfortunatly I still cannot connect to source forge to get CVS, I have noticed a few posts that seem to indicate that ppl are getting the latest CVS in the past few days. So I\'m beginning to wonder if it is on my side, anything I can check?
I did try the link to the tarballs, but could not find that file.
Actually looking at it again I may have done it wrong, I just noticed the lftp before the http. Do I need to enter that into win cvs?
Thanks for the help

It\'s nothing on your side, I am also getting rejected on anon access:

andrew@mekbuda cal3d $ cvs update -d
cvs update: authorization failed: server cvs.sourceforge.net rejected access to /cvsroot/cal3d for user anonymous

As mentioned above, Sourceforge\'s anonymous access is spotty at best it seems.  It usually fixes itself in a day or two.

LOL. . .and I learned that just a while ago!

I\'ve been (unsuccessfully) trying to get my hands on CEL and CrystalSpace for 30 minutes.
