Try "Install from Local Directory" and see what happens. If you get an error, try a few or even one package at a time to get something installed, and to isolate which package is causing the error. If I correctly remember my experience, sometimes the only part that is incomplete is renaming foo.tmp to foo.bz2. Try renaming any foo.tmp file you find it by hand and see if it will "Install from Local Directory". My encounters with "Download Incomplete" have usually been after very large downloads on a slow connection. Try doing the "Install from the Internet" on subsets of what you want. Yes, it's a pain, but as you're doing it on DSL and I've done it for my home setup on 56K dial-up (probably operating at 40-45K), you'll get limited sympathy from me. :-) Switching to another server might help if the problem comes from the server package being corrupt. - (a different) Barry -----Original Message----- From: mail AMPERSAND polisource POINT com Sent: Thursday, June 03, 2004 3:29 PM To: cygwin AT cygwin DOT com 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?
