Eeks - sorry. I missed it amongst the response and skipped over it. I
have to make a transition from newsgroup to listserver. (Wish there was
an English newsgroup for this too)
>>That's the log from a failed run. It just hangs there on the download screen saying "Downloading... setup.bz2 Connecting... Progress:" With no progress. Then a window comes up. When I just tried it now it said: "Internet Error" in the title and "550 /cygwin/setup.bz2: Not a directory" in the message. The original setup window still hangs there after I click "OK". (Its been hanging there the whole time I have been typing this) and this second a second window poped up with "550 /cygwin/setup.ini: Not a directory" followed by "Cygwin Setup: Unable to get setup.ini from "ftp://ftp.easynet.be/cygwin>". I try another one and get a similar response (am trying again now). The date on the log file is a month old though so I am wondering if it is writing anything now or if the text there is from when I started trying to install it.
>>Deleting the log and trying again does not reproduce the log. I run setup from c:\download and look for the log file in c:\cygwin\var\log.

I deleted all cygwin files and started from scratch. I was unable to log
onto ftpeasynet.be via Mozilla Firebird but had no problems using IE and
could download the setup files. Running setup caused an immediate
failure though at the point of download again. Downloading the setup
files to the local package directory and pointing the setup program
there crashed it. After running setup again it again froze at the
download stage and after several minutes of waiting and nothing
happening I hit cancel and here is the log from that (below). It seems
to be stuck at the ftp prompt not entering any commands.

Thanks. Did it and managed to get the log going right.
Thanks for helping me out.
