That is the download just stops. What do you mean, it "just stops"? Do you mean it hangs, or do you mean it exits and a new shell prompt appears without any other messages? When CVSup hangs, the problem is virtually always caused by network misconfiguration (i.e., incompetent ISPs). Try using ifconfig to reduce the MTU of your network interface. Start with 576. If that works, you might wish to try larger values for better performance. Finally, whatever the problem is, it probably has nothing to do with the file "src/contrib/ntp/readme.y2kfixes". Remember, the CVSup client runs three threads in parallel, each doing something different. The "Checkout" messages come from one of the threads, but there are no messages indicating what's going on with the others. John -- John Polstra John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
