cvsup command problem

[Muhammad Kashif Yaqoob]

Dear sir,
 
 I had already read the freebsd cvsup documentation 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html#CVSUP-MIRRORS

 
 then i have apply this command in the freebsd.I will test it  on so many mirror that are in the cvsup document .I tested this below command
 
When i run this below command in freebsd 5.3
 
>    # cvsup -g -L 2 -h cvsup.uk.freebsd.org     /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile
 
    could not connect to the site mirror.
 
    ------------------------------------
 
   parsing supfile "/usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile"
 
    connecting to cvsup.uk.freebsd.org
 
    cannot connect to cvsup.uk.freebsd.org: connection refused
 
    will retry at 23:15:30

--------------------------------------------------------------
 
 
 
Best Regard,
Muhammad kashif

I don't think that particular server is functioning anymore. It used
to take you to a web page when viewed in a browser but it now directs
you straight to a plig.org mirror.

I suggest you read the handbook and find a different mirror. I used to
use the cvsup.ie.freebsd.org one which was quite reliable.
