Well I'm not sure what that was about. However, you should have checked 
out the PythonCard package instead of PythonCardPrototype, sorry if 
that wasn't clear.

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/pythoncard co 
modulename PythonCard

I just tried another checkout and it worked fine. You should see output 
like this...

cvs checkout: Updating PythonCard
U PythonCard/.cvsignore
U PythonCard/EXIF.py
...
...
...
U PythonCard/tools/textEditor/scriptlets/testIgnore.py
U PythonCard/tools/textEditor/scriptlets/unorderedList.py

After doing the checkout, I did a cd into the PythonCard dir and typed 
cvs update and got...

cvs update: Updating .
cvs update: Updating components
cvs update: Updating docs
...
...
...
cvs update: Updating tools/textEditor
cvs update: Updating tools/textEditor/scriptlets

On my broadband connection both of these actions took much less than a 
minute.

Are you using cvs from the command-line or something like tortoisecvs?
