Beyond what others have said about the 'freeze', it may be advisable
that you use fastest_cvsup (pkg_add -r fastest_cvsup) to see what the
fastest/best available cvs server is if you usually only use one or two. eg:

# fastest_cvsup -c ca,us

..gives me the most responsive in Canada and U.S. respectively. I
quickly then dump the server into the supfile I'm using and let it run.
