If you have cvs (the program) installed on your box, thats a 2 line 
thing from the cli Bill, one to login anon, and one to 
'co' (checkout) the whole directory tree.  Just cd to where you want 
it before running the second command.  There are usually instructs on 
the web page associated with it that give you sample command lines.  
And its quick, limited only by your available bandwidth.  Updates are 
really fast when you need to pull a fresh snapshot because only that 
which is new is grabbed, and anything deprecated is deleted.
