Hi again,

Sorry to have bothered you with this.  I experimented, and found multiple
-s options do work.

I did have fun and games working out that the particular mirror site I was
going to use needed to have /cygwin added to the host name, but not
/cygwin/x86_64.  But third or fourth time, I got it going.

Cheers,

Nikhil.
