Hi,

I don't use an existing or designated folder for Cygwin downloads. When 
asking for the local package directory, I specify a directory that does 
not yet exist so it will be created. I also already tried to use 
serveral mirror sites but it does not help. The setup.ini file that gets 
properly downloaded in the local package directory I specified ist 102kb 
in size (MD5 DB7B6E8CD14D8957B4454C2B845C84D6). I sure can post it if 
you like.
