check setup.log and setup.log.full. It will list the error.

Hello,

I finished mirroring the entire cygwin distribution from 
www.carfield.com.hk which totalled almost a whopping 2GB.  I put the 
entire distro in our local http server so that anyone could install it 
from there.  I fired setup.exe from my browser, (and as usual, I 
answered all the questions and specified my local http site as the 
mirror where cygwin should be downloaded from), and setup stopped when 
it reached the point where it started to download 
_update-info-dir-00227-1.tar.bz2.  Setup popped up a window which asked 
"Download Incomplete. Try Again."  I clicked "Yes" and started the 
download all over again from my local http site.  I got stuck at the 
same point.
   

check setup.log and setup.log.full. It will list the error.

Thanks a lot!  The problem was that the permissions on the server for 
the package in question
was 700. Changing it to 755 worked eliminated any problems whatsoever.

Sorry  for the overlook!

Best Regards,

Carlo
