I need to access a SVN repository that is available online but unfortunately, I am behind a firewall that will not allow svn checkout ... etc. Is there a service that I could give the repository URL, it would download the files for me and provide a ZIP file or something?
Related question: Download an SVN repository? However, the answers are not helpful for my case (I absolutely cannot use a local SVN client).

You can either store your repositories locally and access them using the file:// protocol or you can place them on a server and access them with the http:// or svn:// protocols. The two server protocols can also be encrypted. You use https:// or svn+ssh:// , or you can use svn:// with SASL.
To export single files with TortoiseSVN, you have to use the repository browser (the section called “The Repository Browser”). Simply drag the file(s) you want to export from the repository browser to where you want them in the explorer, or use the context menu in the repository browser to export the files.
In the main menu, select VCS | Browse VCS Repository | Browse Subversion Repository to open the SVN Repositories tool window. Right-click a directory you want to export and choose Export from the context menu. In the Select Path dialog that opens, specify the destination directory and click OK.
Since http://svndownload.eu5.org/ does not seem to work any longer, I suggest using wget as explained in an answer to the question you linked to.
If you are on a Windows machine and need wget I can recommend GOW (Gnu On Windows) as a lightweight collection of unix commands for windows.

The web kalyfe tolds didn't worked me, and I ended downloading a corrupted .zip file. But if you can browse the code using HTTP(s), you can use this client app.
Update 2016.03: testing again the site, our new corporate firewall says that site is malicious.
