There's an EU hosted SVN server too, svn.eu.apache.org; this passes back 
all writes to the main svn server but serves up reads from its 
(synchronized) cache. Its closer geographically for anyone in the EU and 
nearby areas, and should put less load on the central servers than 
grabbing a 70mb fetch, so infrastructure are less likely to block the 
operation.

before doing a 70MB download, ping the sites and see which is closer/faster.
