Subject: Installing what I have after "Download Incomplete"

Could someone tell me what to do about the "Download Incomplete" message I
get after 99% of the Cygwin packages have been downloaded? I now have a
release directory with 375 MB of subdirectories, from "_update-info-dir"
to "ZZZRemovedPackages", each containing .tar.bz2 files, and I have a 280
KB setup.ini file. Could I install these without downloading them again?

Carlo Florendo asked the same question about receiving the "Download
Incomplete" message, in the first paragraph of
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2004-04/msg01030.html, except he tried
installing to an HTTP server, and I want to install all Cygwin packages to
a Windows XP computer that's not running as a server. The only other
difference is that I didn't try a second time because the download took
hours on DSL.

According to Rodrigo Medina's post at
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2003-11/msg00303.html, "When setup
discovers, at the end, that the downloading is incomplete it asks if one
wants to try again. If one replies yes it starts all the process from the
begining, downloading again what has been previously and successfully
fetched."

Carlo later said "...permissions on the server for the package in question
was 700. Changing it to 755 worked..." but my error logs (below) give no
indication of that being my problem.

Could this be due to my Windows XP firewall?

Thanks,
Barry
