Try to take CVS out of the loop - use something like FTP to transfer known files across between the server and client and see if they are corrupted (md5sum will come in handy here). Large files are preferred as they increase the likelyhood of errors manifesting. If you find a problem then you can start swapping hardware around. The other thing that could cause it would be hard drive failure, but I'd expect that to affect your entire system not just cvs. Tony
