Re: [Springframework-developer] Re: Anonymous CVS access via Eclipse 3.0M3

There is actually another advantage to using the alternate server. It 
doesn't seem to be 24-hour delayed like the general anonymous server. 
Now I'm not sure SF wants this known, but on the other hand, they made 
the address of the alternate server public, and their upgraded CVS 
infrastructure is supposedly only days away from being deployed, so 
anybody that needs up to day anon CVS access may as well use the 
alternate servers.
