Did you try a different server? When they have too many connections you get 
different messages. I never run cvsup until at least 15-20 minutes after the 
hour. I find that a mirror update takes around 10 minutes. It can be longer. 
If you want the current set, you need to wait until the mirror has updated. 
They all schedule on the hour.

There is a port called fastest_cvsup. It will give you an idea of response 
times. That isn't always the fastest cvsup session but it is a good hint.
