Don't despair... The pserver vs. ssh access problems are about to go away:

CVS Service:  SourceForge.net staff are presently in the process of 
performing a two-phase hardware upgrade to address performance issues 
with the project CVS service. The first phase of this upgrade is 
expected to occur on or around 2005-03-07. The second phase will occur 
roughly two weeks later, and will be followed by the long-awaited 
removal of the sync delay between developer CVS, and the anonymous 
pserver-based CVS and ViewCVS services (currently five hours). Minimal 
downtime is expected for the hardware upgrade cutovers. Downtime will be 
announced on the Site Status page once the transition to remove the sync 
delay has been scheduled. (Last updated: 2005-03-02 Pacific)
