Hi, Are you using an exisiting folder for your local package directory? If so, it is reccommended that you use an empty, new folder. Just something I noticed, because otherwise setup.exe is searching all over an existing folder for setup.ini and may possibly be picking up the wrong one. Also, if you are already using a designated folder only for cygwin downloads, then I suggest clearing out what had been created by previous attempts and retry from a different mirror.
