I am trying to install Cygwin on a standard Windows XP set up. When I run 'setup.exe', it hangs at the point where is starts to download the 'mirrors.lst' file. The is no activity in the progress bar and I noted no disk or net activity for 30 min. Retried 3 times to no avail. The log file is included below.

What are McShield and McAfee doing here? I run Norton Internet Security. Could that be the problem? But, turning off the firewall did nothing to help. Any help can be appreciated. thanks sj __________________________________ Yahoo! Music Unlimited Access over 1 million songs.
