Answer 1

Right click on the folder you want to download in, and open up tortoise-svn -> repo-browser.

Enter in the URL above in the next window.

right click on the trunk folder and choose either checkout (if you want to update from SVN later) or export (if you just want your own copy of that revision).

The manual explains how to checkout code:

• Download the svn binaries
• unpack them somewhere and add the bin folder to your PATH environment variable
• open a command line console (cmd.exe)
• enter than "svn checkout ...." command there
  • make sure to first cd to the place where you want to download (i.e checkout) the projects' code.

Answer 5

See my answer to a very similar question here: How to download/checkout a project from Google Code in Windows?

In brief: If you don't want to install anything but do want to download an SVN or GIT repository, then you can use this: http://downloadsvn.codeplex.com

Answer 6

Create a folder where you want to keep the code, and right click on it. Choose SVN Checkout... and type http://wittytwitter.googlecode.com/svn/trunk into the URL of repository field.

You can also run

svn checkout http://wittytwitter.googlecode.com/svn/trunk

from the command line in the folder you want to keep it (svn.exe has to be in your path, of course).
