OK, this is getting you FreeBSD-CURRENT, which I doubt is what you want. 
Also, cvsup.internat.freebsd.org is quite a distance away from the UK, 
according to traceroute.  Try the following:

  *default host=cvsup.uk.freebsd.org
  *default base=/usr
  *default prefix=/usr
  *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4
  *default delete use-rel-suffix
  *default compress

  src-all

(The crypto stuff was merged into src-all sometime after 4.0)

This will get you 4.5-PRERELEASE right now, or 4.5-STABLE after it is 
released.

You don't need to run cvs after this, but just FYI:
       setenv CVSROOT /home/cvs
is the correct syntax for csh IIRC (it's been over 15 years since I
last used csh)

Here's the info from the handbook:
        http://www.uk.freebsd.org/handbook/cvsup.html

And this is what to do now:
        http://www.uk.freebsd.org/handbook/makeworld.html
(Print this one out, since you'll be dropping to single user)

Good luck!
