Here is an old issue - say you go to install a package, but your download is
corrupt. You get this:

    ---------------------------
    Cygwin Setup
    ---------------------------
    Package file wget has a corrupt local copy, please remove and retry.
    ---------------------------
    OK   
    ---------------------------

*Then setup closes*. This is not right. If the archive is missing, or if the
archive fails the SHA check, *then the file should be redownloaded by setup*,
and SHA check run again. With the current system, setup exits, then the user has
to navigate to where the problem file is, for example:

C:\http%3a%2f%2fcygwin.mirror.constant.com%2f\x86_64\release\wget

then delete the problem file, then restart setup. I cant see why setup shouldnt
just automate all of this. Also here is a new issue - on the "Select Connection
Type" page - "Use System Proxy Settings" is the first choice, and by default the
selected choice. "Direct Connection" should be the first choice, and by default
the selected choice.
