I'm looking for an online tool that will allow me downloading an online SVN repository (google code etc.).

Do you know of anything?

Update
I want to download the top parent folder and all its subfolders and content, without installing anything on my computer.

If you want to download SVN repository online (e.g. Google Code) without installing anything, you can use wget:

wget -m -np http://myproject.googlecode.com/svn/myproject/trunk/

If authorization is required, you can use the --user and --ask-password flags, which will prompt you for your password:

wget --user=yourusername --ask-password -m -np http://myproject.googlecode.com/svn/myproject/trunk/

Explaining what the parameter does:

-m, --mirror:

Turn on options suitable for mirroring. This option turns on recursion and time-stamping, sets infinite recursion depth and keeps FTP directory listings. It is currently equivalent to -r -N -l inf --no-remove-listing.

-np, --no-parent:

Do not ever ascend to the parent directory when retrieving recursively. This is a useful option, since it guarantees that only the files below a certain hierarchy will be downloaded.
