Me too ;-)

The problem started (for me) a few month ago.

I see the "Checksum mismatch" messages as well. Sometimes two
or three, sometimes 100 or more, sometimes none.

I used CVSup for years. I tried csup, nothing changed. I switched
servers I CVSup from, even tried cvsup.freebsd.org.  I tried
compressing and non-compressing mode.

Like John, I only see the problem on src, not elsewhere.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
