Howdy all!

I'm using the Cygwin setup on my W2000 system.

A while ago I asked the question: how do I know which mirror to
select? Obviously some are going to be faster than others (perhaps
also a lot closer). 

Someone here told me that I can select multiple sites and setup will
select the fastest. Is that true?

When I select multiple sites there are several problems. Firstly, it
starts by downloading something from each of them, before I even
select any packages to download. 

Secondly, it started to download stuff I already had. It started to
download cygwin-1.3.13.2.tar.bz2. WHen I canceled and went back to
using the same mirror that I first started with, it was able to get
new packages without downloading anything I've already downloaded.

Can anyone shed more light on how I am supposed to be using setup?

Thanks!

Ed
