Updates from ftp-master.freebsd.org using cvsup?

[Rudolf Cejka]

Hello,
recent cvsup updates from ftp-master.freebsd.org end after relatively
short time (at most ten minutes) with
TreeList failed: Network write failure: Connection lost
or
Updater failed: Premature EOF from server
Unfortunately, I see this behavior on ftp-master.eu.freebsd.org.
Please, who of you use direct cvsup updates from ftp-master.freebsd.org,
could you check if you see the same or different behavior? Isn't there
some problem directly on ftp-master.freebsd.org? I did not do any
recent changes on ftp-master.eu.freebsd.org.

Thanks.

Sorry, I broke cvsupd. :-(

The thought that I might break cvsupd did occur to me, and I did check
an ftp.freebsd.org machine after uploading the 6.4-RC2 DVDs. But the
one I wound up checking was the Danish half, and it turns out they
apparently have switched to rsync. So I wound up not really checking
what I had wanted to check.

One of the DVD ISO files is a tiny bit bigger than 2Gb. And what I was
worried might be the case is the case - the i386 version of cvsupd (at
least, not sure about the amd64 version) uses 32-bits for file size.

I compressed the amd64 DVD which got it down under the 2Gb mark. Sorry
about that.
