I've been trying and failing to check out a copy of the release branch the last two days - I keep getting SVN timeouts.
It sounds like you're trying to make a whole new checkout every time when your checkout fails.
Do you realize you can just do svn update and it will continue where it stopped?
Yes, I'm trying to do an update, I don't get more than half a lib at a time :-(
I experienced the same menace when I tried to checkout trunk and release branch for the first time using (checkout + update^n) end of last year. Getting a working copy took a whole day with many interruptions due to timeouts (sometimes leaving the working copy in obscure states, which made subsequent cleanup/workaround activities necessary). It was pretty awful. Now that I am working incrementally with trunk and release branch it's not pure joy but I can live with it.
