Bad mirros
I've been trying for weeks to upgrade my Cygwin installation but the setup program, after I have spent 15 or 20 minutes selecting the software I want, comes back and says the download is aborted, would I like to try again? This is very frustrating because then I have to spend another 20 minutes on another mirror. So far, after 8 tries, I have not found a good mirror. Anyone know of a good mirror?

Anyone know of >a good mirror? Yes. I know of a good mirror, now that you mention it. I just avoid all of the bad ones. Otherwise, I'd be spending months or even years trying to download cygwin. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

Anyone know of a good >mirror? I use http://mirrors.cn.net. YMMV. Typically, what makes a "good" or "bad" mirror has more to do with the specifics of the path from you to it than anything else. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.

Maybe it has been already fixed in setup, but if not, then you may be running into this: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2004-06/msg01103.html -- Jacek. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
