Perhaps -hubs would have been a better choice?

You are obviously connecting OK; it's just that the server is already as
busy as it's minder is willing to let it be.  Perhaps you'd be better
off choosing something other than 03:00 as a starting point?

Don't do that!  Use multiplexed mode "-P m" (from the cvsup man page,
"All but multiplexed mode are deprecated"); or use csup which does
multiplexed mode by default.

On Saturday morning I updated two servers in London from from RELENG_7_1
to RELENG_7_2 using cvsup.uk.  I checked again just now and it's still
happy.
