The source on the mirrors are supposedly updated once an hour. I wait an hour and then cvsup again. If nothing has change or if it is still broken, I watch the cvs-commit messages for an update. If you have cvsuped the 2nd time and it is still broken, you can also track down who made the change and tell them about the error. There are scripts out there that will process a captured cvsup log and produce HTML links to the cvsweb-cgi. That makes it easier to handle.
