I don't see any problem writing a shell-script for the checkout _as long as_ you have some reasonable sleep before trying again (hmm, maybe give it 15 minutes, maybe try twice (taking into account that it worked after the 2. try 90% of the time and then wait for an hour or so...). As said below retries generate additional load on a group of already overloaded cvs servers. Someone said that sourceforge is victim to it's own success and there you can feel it's true. If stuff's not working just go ahead and try the thinktux mirror. Martin -- Martin Hauser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> GPG-Encrypted mail preferred, KEY: 0D459A72
