Hello Willy,

You've already had quite a few complete answers on this, but here's a 
suggestion you might try: If you have a faster connection available to 
you somewhere (like a university or work) go to an FTP site near you 
that has Cygwin and download setup.*, the entire latest and contrib tree 
(still no all-in-one file, but OK). Put it on a CD (or a lot of 
floppies) and take it home with you (I assume the Windoze box you want 
to "evaluate" Cygwin on is at home). There, run setup after you've set 
up the same tree as you found on the FTP site, and have it install from 
a local directory. Saves you a lot of download time (because Cygwin is 
big).
Make sure wherever you do this they have enough bandwidth, though: you 
don't want others to have to pay for your Cygwin evaluations..

Greetz!

Ronald
