sourceforge cvs hang & incorrect url for cvs-root snapshot tarball

[Roger]

I'm noticing when checking out the sourceforge freebios cvs, it will
hang on the last file. (fails to close the connect?)

I've also noticed that cvs check-out has been really slow, so I decided
to check-out the cvs snapshot tarball from the download page:
http://www.linuxbios.org/developer/download/index.html

The posted url:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cvstarballs/freebios-cvsroot.tar.gz

The working url:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cvstarballs/freebios-cvsroot.tar.bz2

(notice that suffix differences ".gz" & ".bz")
