I'm a longtime Debian user who is trying out FreeBSD, so very much a
newbie here.

I wanted to get spectrwm-2.2.0 which I found on www.freshports.org.
After a lot of googling I tried first cvsup and then svn, using the
command

svn co svn://svn.freshports.org/x11-wm/spectrwm

but it keeps timing out wo I think I must have misunderstood something.
Any advice please? Is there some other way to get ports from
freshports.org?

AC
