Jose,

To download and install a pkg you use the -r option. If you have already
downloaded it the you do not need the -r. 

The reason you are getting the unable to fetch is probably that you are
asking for a specific version which is not available.


To download and install the latest version of cvsup just do 

pkg_add -r cvsup-without-gui
