Shouldn't you get a warning when you use a mirror that is no longer listed? According to the source, you should see this message: One or more mirrors you have selected is/are not on the list of official Cygwin mirrors any more. It/They may be out of date or missing some packages. This affects the following mirror(s): cgf -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
