Hello, I do not know about anything. When I test the speed from
ftp-master.eu.FreeBSD.org to ftp.cz.FreeBSD.org today, I get speed about
3,5 MB/s (28 Mb/s), where the distance is ~ 200 km. Please, could
you test it once again? Current tcptraceroute says

Selected device em0, address 147.229.9.40, port 63367 for outgoing packets
Tracing the path to 217.75.113.5 on TCP port 80, 30 hops max
 1 bd-boz.fit.vutbr.cz (147.229.9.4)  3.149 ms  7.629 ms  9.966 ms
...
14 freebsd.g.port80.se (217.75.113.5)  49.301 ms  49.360 ms  49.256 ms

which seems to be good (tcptraceroute to ftp.cz.FreeBSD.org is currently
www.freebsd.cz (195.113.15.29)  7.401 ms  8.596 ms  10.507 ms).

- I had speed problems at Friday too :o( Just about 0,7 MB/s instead of
  typical >= 3 MB/s.

- If it is the first cvsup run, my experiences are that it is very slow
  and very memory consuming - only the next runs with cached attributes
  are effective.

- Please try simple ftp download from ftp-master.eu.FreeBSD.cz and you
  will see more raw connection speed (in case that you do not monitor
  traffic on interface but looking at cvsup speed). My current testing
  ftp2.se.FreeBSD.org -> ftp-master.eu.FreeBSD.org says about 1 MB/s.

Regards.
