I would think a xz file listed in setup.ini missing from a mirror would be considered a fatal error. It could affect a dependency chain, and may not be the only missing file. I would expect setup to quit, without installing anything, as the only safe option, until the mirror is repaired, or another is selected. How would we even know such an error had occurred without a dialogue box report? I think in this case, the maintainers are striking the right balance. In many years of using various Cygwin mirrors, I have never come across this situation: this mirror process does not maintain a safe image for the downstream users. Mirrors I have used over the years had issues with the setup arch directories during updates, ensuring setup fails immediately, signalling to try again later, after the mirror update is complete. -- Take care.
