When you notice this kind of problem, please get the mirror site maintainer's e-mail address from the FreeBSD Handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html#CVSUP-MIRRORS and report the problem to him. I have done that just now, so cvsup1.freebsd.org will be fixed soon, I hope. By the way, why are you using such unimaginative choices as cvsup.freebsd.org and cvsup2.freebsd.org? There are 17 mirror sites in the US alone (83 total in the world). All of the US mirrors and almost all of the other mirrors update themselves hourly from the master server. So the low-numbered mirrors such as cvsup and cvsup2 are no better than the others. You can help to spread the load more evenly by spending 5 minutes with ping and traceroute to find a better choice.
