I realize this thread has been over for a while, but I was wondering if
the link to "read about additional download options" should switch from
download.html to cygwin-ug-net/setup-net.html or not. Looking at 
download.html, the only thing I see that isn't on the setup-net.html page
is mention that .tar.bz2 files can be unpacked with Cygwin's tar + gzip [sic] 
+ bzip2 and that WinZip *cannot* unpack the .tar.gz [sic] files.

I'd be happy to add this to setup-net.html if it's important anymore. Mention
of WinZip is already in the FAQ at:
<http://www.cygwin.com/faq/faq_toc.html#TOC60>

I agree.
