It sounds like the problem is in the network, rather than in setup.exe. Are you getting hit by Comcast's throttling? If you were able to test the same computer using a different internet connection and it worked there, that would be fairly conclusive. Alternatively, if you have a few gig of diskspace to spare for testing, you could try using 'wget' or 'curl' to copy an entire release from one of the mirrors you've been using - if that gets interrupted part-way through, it'll prove that the problem lies upstream. Another way to diagnose it would be to fire up your favourite packet dumper and watch the TCP stream while you run setup.exe, paying particular attention to the point where it all goes wrong right at the end. cheers, DaveK -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
