I am using the latest TortoiseSVN to get a full local copy of FPC, but --even thought I tried several times, with 'cleanup's-- I keep getting this error:

GET of '/svn/fpc/!svn/bc/9386/trunk/rtl/inc/wustrings.inc': Checksum invalid for compressed stream (http://svn.freepascal.org)

and, it fails.

Could someone look into it.

I don't know what causes it, but it only happens for very few people. You can work around it by disabling http-compression for svn.freepascal.org using the setting http-compression = no

See e.g. http://www.sjmdev.com/sjm/post/2010/03/15/tortoisesvn-error-options-https-connect-server.aspx for how to edit to that setting in TortoiseSVN.

Thank you, Jonas.

Now, it seems to be trickling along.

And, trickling it kBytes/sec average, I am not sure I will live to see the whole repository fully downloaded :)

FYI:
I also recently downloaded the trunk versions of both FPC and Lazarus on Windows using TortoiseSVN and I got a similar error for both. Updating the repos with the same TortoiseSVN loaded the rest of the files and there were no more errors after it.
Using command line svn and also git-svn has worked without problems (both on Linux).
