Oh.  Yeah, I could do that, but it seems to be a bit of overkill.  I mean I
think the steps you are suggesting are:

* Wget automatically mirrors *.tar.gz files from sources.redhat.com (or
mirror).

* I occassionally use Setup.exe to unpackage the new *.tar.gz's and update
my central area.

It would seem that it would be just as easy to use Setup for both steps...?

I was suggesting the the "Cygwin Administrator" use wget to mirror
Cygwin for the "Central Repository" to get the most up to date
versions.  The "Cygwin Administrator" would then update the "Central
Repository".  I wasn't suggesting that every user mirror Cygwin, that
wouldn't be necessary.
