I switched a few days ago when it started acting strangely. Several packages were displayed as Not Installed--bashdb3, gcc-gm2, libglade, libltdl6, and libploticus. When I clicked on "Skip" to try to install one of them, Setup crashed. So I switched back to http://mirror.mcs.anl.gov/, which didn't display that problem. anl.gov hasn't had any updates in a few days, so I thought I'd check back to dotsrc.org. I saw the exact same behaviour. However, now, if I go to dotsrc.org, to the package chooser, back to the mirrors list, select another mirror (it doesn't seem to matter which one), and back to the package chooser, there are multiple copies of each of the Not Installed packages listed above. Going back and forth, another copy is added each time I return to the package chooser. This only seems to happen if I go to dotsrc.org first. On the other mirrors I tried (which is only calvin.edu as well as the anl.gov), I only see two Not Installed packages; those always show up and are never duplicated. I'm willing to believe that dotsrc.org has some sort of problem, but setup presumably shouldn't be duplicated packages like that. Actually, I just tried it again, and it didn't happen the first time I went into the package chooser from dotsrc.org, but if I switched to "Not Installed" view, back to mirrors, then back to the package chooser, the spurious packages showed up. I am using Setup version 2.510.2.2. I'm not enclosing cygcheck output because I'm not sure it would be relevant. The setup.ini file in the dotsrc.org folder is no different from that in the calvin.edu folder. setup.log.full and setup.log don't seem to have been modified by the time the crash occurs, so no information there.
