They did say that their load balancer would cut the anonymous CVS connection
(pserver-based CVS access) if their system was too busy, and that you'd get an
EOF error when that happens.
From the site status page:
(2003-06-19 04:50:08) Developer CVS performance (via SSH) has stabilized at a
reasonable level. pserver-based CVS access continues to be served off of the
CVS backup server. As of the morning of 2003-06-19, the connection count for
pserver connections has been raised as to permit a larger volume of pserver
connections at a time (this connection cap exists to help us balance the volume
of pserver connections at peak times with the performance of those
connections). pserver-based repository access from the project shell server
will continue to operate as stated in our previous update (against data on the
primary CVS server).
Users encountering the connection cap (please note that this ONLY applies to
pserver-based CVS access and DOES NOT deal with SSH-based CVS access) will
receive either a recv() error or an "end of file from server" error. Users
encountering this cap should wait a few minutes, then retry their connection.
The increased connection cap established on 2003-06-19 is expected to alleviate
most of these issues.
Project administrators are encouraged to establish custom nightly CVS tarballs
(i.e. that contain a working source snapshot that their non-member developers
may download) for their project if they believe the connection counts are
continuing to impact their development cycle (note that these connection counts
will only impact non-member developers, since member developers may use SSH
authentication instead of pserver). The SourceForge.net team will be glad to
assist project administrators in establishing a custom nightly snapshot tarball
for their project when requested by Support Request after 2003-06-19 (the
increased connection cap established on 2003-06-19 is expected to alleviate
most of these issues).
