We've been using CVSup on the PostgreSQL project for the last year or
more and it has worked great for us. Much less bandwidth than tarballs
or anonymous cvs, and you get a full local copy of the cvs tree.

We have a bunch of binaries for cvsup on various platforms posted at

  ftp://postgresql.org/pub/CVSup/

if anyone finds that useful.
