sourceforge makes me cross
One of the things I wanna do once I’m some crazy millionaire is host web/cvs/mail/etc. for projects that I care about.

I eventually managed to update by simply running CVS update repeatedly until it manages to connect. Once the TCP connection is up, it can work through the packet loss... you just need all the packets from the handshake to make it. (With 60% packet loss, what's the probability that three packets in a row will make it? 8/125? Good luck!)

(Well, you can't beat the speed of light.)
unrelated observation:
