Subject: during setup, which download site to select?

Hello,

During cygwin setup, how do I know which download site to select? Some
seem to be outside the USA, so I'm sure I don't want to select
them. But is there anything to choose on the others?

How do I know I'm not selecting a really slow cranky site, instead of
a fast stable site?

Also, when downloading the install stuff from the internet to be
installed later, it seems to store stuff in directories with the site
name in the path. Does that mean I have to stick with one site, or can
I download some stuff from site A this morning, and then some other
stuff from B the next day, and then expect setup.exe to find both sets
of install files?

Any comments would be helpful!

Thanks!

Ed
