downloading w3

Hello,
I am trying to download w3 from cvs with the command below, but cvs just 
  keeps connecting & trying to download for hours without doing 
anything. Am I making any mistake?

cvs -z3 -d 
":ext;username=surendrasinghi;hostname=savannah.gnu.org:/cvsroot/w3 " co 
w3 (in directory C:\Xemacs\w3)

Thanks

Have you read http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group=w3 ?

Try setting the environment variable CVS_RSH to "ssh" then run:
cvs -z3 -d:ext:anoncvs <at> savannah.gnu.org:/cvsroot/w3 co w3
