    cvs checkout question

    I'm trying to check out the current Python (read only) via anonymous cvs
    as per the instructions on the "Developmen t Tools" page
    <http://python.org/dev/tools.html> and it's failing

    % cvs -d:pserver:anony mous@cvs.python .sourceforge.ne t:/cvsroot/python
    login (all one one line)
    (Logging in to reowen@cvs.pyth on.sourceforge. net)
    CVS password:

    but regardless of what password I try I get one of two messages:

    cvs [login aborted]: authorization failed: server
    cvs.python.sour ceforge.net rejected access

    or

    cvs [login aborted]: recv() from server cvs.python.sour ceforge.net:
    Connection reset by peer

    I have a sourceforge account, so I also tried logging in as me and that
    didn't work any better. Any hints? I'm on a MacOS X machine in case that
    matters, but I have checked stuff out from other cvs servers.

      You should leave the password empty.

      In that case, SF has rejected you because it is overloaded. Just retry
      immediately.

          This is a symptom of high load on sourceforge's servers. You are doing
          everything correctly, but are being denied access anyway. If you are
          persistent, you should be able to sneak in when the load drops sufficiently.

              Thanks for the helpful replies! I did eventually get in and got what
              looked like most of the files (including the two I really cared about).
              It eventually hung and after about an hour of nothing happening I killed
              it.
