Yeah, it seems a lot of slots have been taken up by a Turkish resort
chain (Joy Hotels) where each one of the resort behind their own Turk
Telecom DSL line/IP is banging cvsup4.us for a constant CVsup update
every couple of minutes. (seems they should be running their own private
CVSup mirror or use cvsup.tr.freebsd.org)

In any case, I already have opened up some more slots to see if this
constant banging against cvsup4.us is just queued requests that have
been deferred. (which should also help you)  If not, I will have to
track their admins down (or if that doesn't work - rate limit them) :S

You should really get access to cvsup-master since it only accepts
connections from other top-tier mirrors (and since it's hosted at
Yahoo!, your network path to it should be similar to ISC/cvsup4.us)

That being said, so let me know if you still have issues accessing
cvsup4.us.
