Err, if it managed to download one file, it should be able to the rest,
too, at least AFAICS).

Maybe you should try a different cvsup mirror:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html

(at the end of the page there is a mirror list).

You could also use ports/sysutils/fastest_cvsup to find the most
responsive mirror for you.
