It should come up with a substantial list of Download site (mirrors).  Are you
saying the list is empty, or that you can't connect to any of them?  You can't
add a mirror to the list directly (that list of mirrors is centrally
maintained), but as I recall you can invoke setup with some argument to direct
it elsewhere.  But my guess is that is not what you should be doing.

If setup can't connect to any of the sutes I wonder about whether you've got
some firewall interfering.

Note also that the setup program is a tool for downloading and installing
Cygwin packages.  Cygwin is not a single "thing".  And we don't recommend
installing _all_ the packages.  Just get what you need to get started and add
things as you find more need.

Best wishes - Eliot Moss
