There was a note the other day from the maintainer, touting this as the newest server with very low load at this time. Also try running cvsup with the -L 2 option for more verbosity. It does not give a plethora of information, but it is better than nothing. Finally, if you are running an X desktop of any kind, try cvsup from there. The cvsup GUI gives the most information as to what cvsup is doing. -- Walter in·tel·lec·tu·al n. Someone who has been educated past his/her level of intelligence.
