Hi,
I tried installing cygwin on a new Windows 10 system yesterday and it
failed to find any mirror sites.
I can see www.cygwin.com to start the download, but then everything
points to cygwin.com and all those links fail (but work when I add
'www.' to the URL)
For example: The "mirrors" left menu link to
https://cygwin.com/mirrors.html fails but
https://www.cygwin.com/mirrors.html works
I will keep trying to see if it is back - or maybe everything should
just be pointing to the www.cygwin.com address.

Hi, I have the same problem - cygwin.org works for me, but cygwin.com
doesn't, although tester sites suggest cygwin.com is indeed up.
This looks like perhaps a problem with a nameserver operated by BT, if
you are a customer of theirs.
