The mirrors are in the form "cvsupN.freebsd.org".  I use cvsup12, 
cvsup13, cvsup6 from SW Missouri (and my upstream links go through NE 
Oklahoma, dunno if they are close to you or not).

It might be worth the time to install /usr/ports/sysutils/fastest_cvsup 
to help find the fastest/nearest servers for your installation area.

HTH,
