What OS are you in? It would really help a lot in order for me to answer your question.

in windows, try instead of "co vegastrike" or "checkout vegastrike", doing "co vegastrike/src".
in linux/unix/etc., try "checkout -l vegastrike" (note the -l)
and then
cd vegastrike
cvs update -d -P src

I also noticed on my end that it hang when it`s finished.

So just cancelling it would do the trick.

This file is the last one in the cvs.
At first they will ignore you,
then they will laugh at you,
then they will fight you,
then you will win.

I had this too. Upgrading your CVS should help (at least it helped me...) I downloaded it directly from http://www.cvshome.org. Compiled it myself and it worked....

Further investigation revealed it is a problem cleaning up buffer in the zlib (dunno, wether it's on the zlib part or the cvs one). It works fine, when you don't use compression (ie without the "-z3" or anyother "-z" option).
