Hi,

I seem to be having problem with running setup.exe because it says 
"Can't get the list of download sites.".  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.
