Maybe you weren't but since packages are just a stream of bytes if setup.exe stops downloading them it isn't the package's fault. It's setup.exe's. Since lots of people are downloading packages, and since packages are just a stream of bytes that get copied to disk, the problem still points to an issue on your side if a download stops halfway through. "Your side" might be something as simple as bad connectivity with the mirror that you've chosen so trying another mirror would make sense. -- 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
