I am trying to checkout the code at googlecode for the project 20thingsilearned, however I am getting the same error on Tortoise SVN and cygwin in Windows 7

Error: OPTIONS of   
Error: 'http://20thingsilearned.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/%2020thingsilearned-read-only':   
Error: could not connect to server (http://20thingsilearned.googlecode.com)

Appreciate your help.

EDIT: I used http://downloadsvn.codeplex.com/ and it works like a charm, problem solved.

By the looks of it the command they are giving you is a full SVN console command to check out the repository.

# Non-members may check out a read-only working copy anonymously over HTTP.
svn checkout http://20thingsilearned.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ 20thingsilearned-read-only

Which would check out the repository at http://20thingsilearned.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ to the folder "20thingsilearned-read-only" while your error is that Tortoise is trying to checkout the full path of 'http://20thingsilearned.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/%2020thingsilearned-read-only' which does not exist.

If you are using Tortoise SVN then simply check out

http://20thingsilearned.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/

to your working directory.
