how to update source tree without cvs?

[yew chin]

thanks for answering, i will try to learn how to use
ctm. But 1 thing really weird is that, when i use
cvsup, i can establish connection to the cvsup server.
But it doesn't download the src and ports.
here is the output of my cvsup

Connecting to cvsup10.freebsd.org
Connected to cvsup10.freebsd.org
Server software version: SNAP_16_1e
Negotiating file attribute support
Exchanging collection information
Establishing multiplexed-mode data connection
Running

as i can tell i have successfully make a connection to
the cvsup server, but the screen just froze after the
"running" line, it doesn't show anything after that. i
just wonder what have prevent my computer downloading
the src and ports.
any ideas?
thanks for looking and replying.
