Did you try a different connection method (IE, direct, proxy)?

You can either use a different way to download Cygwin.
Read http://www.cygwin.com/download.html

Corinna

By the way...

if setup.exe is launched and downloads the new packages, it says something
about "retrieving mirrors.lst".
Is this file DELETED immediately after use?
I couldn't either find mirrors.lst in my Trashcan and my hard disk.
I think it makes sense to keep it on the disk because if something goes
wrong, you can manually resume a download or things like that.
