Installing cygwin NOT from web

Is the following statement correct? Installing from web, rather than downloading to disk, eliminates the risks of !) having to download the same file twice and 2) having duplicate files (from different mirrors) retained in the cache. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-si
