csup is just fine, but you probably did something that confused it. If
you want your speed back, you can use Subversion:

# svn co http://svn.freebsd.org/ports/base $yourportsdir

svn:// can be used as well, but http:// is faster for me.
Once the checkout is done, you can update with the following command:

# make update -C $yourportsdir
