Rapid SVN, Smart SVN, Synchro SVN and Tortoise SVN. Tried on both Windows

Step 1.Download and install any SVN program
Step 2.Go to the google code source checkout
Step 3.Insert the SVN checkout code in SVN program
and where you want to download it to.
Hi Brandt,
It's possible that it's a problem with your firewall or connection, but
this is my guess (since I've done this myself a couple of times):
You went to the page on Google Code that gives you the command to use to
check out the project, and copy-pasted the path into your GUI-style SVN
client. The problem is, what GCode gives you is something like this:
svn checkout http://proj.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ proj-read-only
Which is correct... for the svn command-line program, "svn". But what
you pasted into the GUI was something like this:
http://proj.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ proj-read-only
^
The catch is this space here ----------^
That's not a typo; when you're using the command-line svn, it's the
delimiter between the real checkout path and the local location that you
want to checkout to, when you're sending it to the command-line svn app.
What your GUI client is looking for is just the path, ie:
http://proj.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/
Of course, it's entirely possible that it's actually your firewall or
something, and that I'm the only one ever to make this mistake, and now
everyone's going to laugh at me. :)
