The only way to thoroughly solve that problem is to provide your own mirror (which by definition you have control over). > I think a new command-line argument should be added that makes Cygwin > setup pick one of the mirrors it knows is good from the list it > downloads. That really doesn't work without quite a bit of server-side infrastructure that currently simply isn't in place. Personally I'd prefer MirrorBrain, but SHTDI and all that. > A command-line argument is the way to go, but a text file with a list > of known good mirrors that could be downloaded and parsed by a script > would also be of great help. Cygwin already checks the status of its > mirros as far as I know. If you think you know which mirror is currently working (best) for you, that file can easily be downloaded.
