Hi,

I tried to get a copy of Boost CVS using the instructions at
http://www.boost.org/more/getting_started.html#CVS, but I got this error:
~  $ cvs -d:pserver:anonymous_at_[hidden]:/cvsroot/boost
login
~  Logging in to
:pserver:anonymous_at_[hidden]:2401/cvsroot/boost
~  CVS password:
~  cvs [login aborted]: connect to
cvs.boost.sourceforge.net(66.35.250.209):2401 failed: Connection timed out

However, when I use the SF CVS instructions at
http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=7586, I have no problems.  It
recommends the following line instead.
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous_at_[hidden]:/cvsroot/boost login

The difference seems to be cvs.boost.sourceforge.net versus
cvs.sourceforge.net.  Is this a temporary technical problem?  Or
should the instructions on the getting_started.html be updated?

Thanks,

Aaron W. LaFramboise
