hi,

dunno whether mirrors being updated properly,

but changing to a different mirror can be done with
-d option to cvs:

I just used
cvs -z 9 -d anoncvs@anoncvs2.de.NetBSD.org:/cvsroot update src
instead of usual
cvs -z 9 -d :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.NetBSD.org:/cvsroot update src

and all worked fine..
