Only in recent times have there been more than one or two anoncvs
mirrors for FreeBSD.  Quite frankly, anoncvs sucks the life out
of the machines it's on.  I encourage people to use cvsup to grab
the repository and do cvs operations locally.  Also, there's
ports/net/cvsup-mirror which makes it a trivial task.. and it's
been around for a long time.
