Hi,

It is 1000 times faster (or some value... but wayyy faster) to just ftp the "ports.tar.gz" file over when compared to using CVS.

Just saying...

Cheers,

Hello All,

This system should be -current as of last night.

I'm trying to build ports:
# cd /usr
# cvs -qd anon...@anoncvs.usa.openbsd.org:/cvs get -rOPENBSD_`uname -r | sed 's/\./_/'` -P ports

Problem is that I got impatient and thought ports were hanging somewhere around the x11 stuff so I stupidly ^C

Now after rebooting the machine several times, I cannot connect back to anoncvs.usa.openbsd.org and the other mirrors don't do much. Meaning I can connect but no other message indicates ports are being downloaded.

For awhile the error message was that my IP address has a connection already but now it looks like the connection is dropped altogether as there's no message.

Although, I can open a telnet connection to the cvs port:
telnet anoncvs.usa.openbsd.org 2401
Trying 149.20.54.217...
Connected to anoncvs.usa.openbsd.org.
Escape character is '^]'.

cvs [pserver aborted]: bad auth protocol start:

Connection closed by foreign host.

Any recommendations on what to do?
