This is what I've found so far: 1. I can use my mozilla browser to access http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/mirrors.lst 2. Performed a packet trace on setup.exe and found the following HTTP transaction by setup.exe: GET /cygwin/mirrors.lst HTTP/1.0\r\n Host: sources.redhat.com\r\n \r\n and remote site reset the TCP link. 3. I ran "telnet sources.redhat.com 80" and executed the above instructions and it failed as expected 4. I then tried the telnet again with the following instructions: GET /cygwin/mirrors.lst HTTP/1.0\r\n Host: sources.redhat.com\r\n User-Agent: cygwin \r\n And it works! I suggest that the setup.exe program be fixed so that the download can work. P.S. I do not use a web proxy and I don't think my ISP uses a transparent proxy. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
