cvsup is still fine.  Please (as recommended in the handbook) use a
mirror closer to you.

cvsup1, which has the same IP address as cvsup, /is/ listed as the
server closest to me in the handbook. More specifically:

/usr/local/etc/cvsup/update.sh -L2
CVSup update begins at 2010-09-02 09:46:13
Updating from cvsup1.freebsd.org
Parsing supfile "/usr/local/etc/cvsup/supfile"
Connecting to cvsup1.freebsd.org
Connected to cvsup1.freebsd.org
Premature EOF from server
CVSup update ends at 2010-09-02 09:46:15

Something has changed in the past several days and I'm now getting
Premature EOF. (I operate a mirror within our enterprise.) If the server
/is fine/, then why have I been getting this message for the past
several days? Nothing has changed on my end.

Hi Dennis,

Instead of relying on a particular cvsup server, how about installing
fastest_cvsup (http://www.freshports.org/sysutils/fastest_cvsup)?

If you run it in your script and pass the resulting hostname to csup,
you'll get the server with the best response at that time.

That was interesting. From one site there isn't a significant difference 
between 1/4/10 -- at least anything worth noteing. From this site, with 
multiple exit points (different vendors) and depending on the BGP bounce 
of the day, I see:
 Speed Daemons:
    - 1st: cvsup14.us.freebsd.org   6.22 ms
    - 2st: cvsup4.us.freebsd.org    30.29 ms
    - 3st: cvsup17.us.freebsd.org   44.45 ms

 Speed Daemons:
    - 1st: cvsup15.us.freebsd.org   20.96 ms
    - 2st: cvsup18.us.freebsd.org   31.66 ms
    - 3st: cvsup9.us.freebsd.org    31.80 ms

Thanks for the pointer.

BTW, cvsup was 51 ms from the first and 100 ms from the second.
