Trouble updating ports

Hello
I've been trying to update the ports on a FreeBSD 5.3 install without
success. I've just taken the standard ports-supfile, changed the
default base to "/usr" and added my local cvsup mirror, but I get
continual connection time-outs (transcript below).
I've also tried other cvsup servers in Germany, the UK, as well as the
central mirrors. Same deal across the board, and this has been going on
for over a week.
The machine is behind a firewall, but I've managed to download packages
from the FreeBSD FTP server.
Any pointers as to how to resolve this?
Thanks
