What release are you running on the machine that's doing the checkout?  
There was a problem, fixed in September, with ipfw that could cause 
such symptoms.  One way to check: try to get the different pieces 
separately and see if you get further.  If you can identify what 
directory it's hanging in, get each file separately.
