I'd guess that the file is just rather big and needs some time to get checked out. Have some patience!

$ ls -l /var/abs/core/base/coreutils/coreutils-i18n.patch
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 101354 24 mar 2007 /var/abs/core/base/coreutils/coreutils-i18n.patch

About 100kB, server's probably just a bit slow, give it some time.

thnx, u're right. but is there any way to speed things up?

Yogev · 2007-10-11 18:01:59

why do i get this msg?

"Inactivity timeout"

Yogev · 2007-10-13 17:54:33

why doesn't ABS work for me?
can it be because of my internet connection? i'm using adsl with dhcp, and my modem is b-focus 270pr.

Right.
And he is telling him to try using csup instead of cvsup.
csup is written in C, and was started because cvsup was written in modula-3, and was hard to update/submit patches to.
I think the freebsd project started csup, but don't quote me on that.

Anyway, some people have found it faster and easier to use. It doesn't support quite as many features as cvsup, but for how we use it, it is a fine drop in replacement.

Ah, forgive me, I wasn't paying attention. I'll have to try csup.
