Source somewhere public  ?

What do i need from the CVS for the Client Side , only an HEAD Checkout ?

Yes, we have files up to 20 GB

Presently this is possible only with the combination of MR-AFS servers 
and clients built from OpenAFS CVS. I know that rpi.edu is working on an 
OpenAFS fileserver with large file support. For details about the status
ask "R. Lindsay Todd" <toddr@rpi.edu>.
