well, this makes a point that we need to address. I keep this structure:
N:\Cygtemp\ - Temp dir for cygwin packages
N:\Documents And Settings\(username)\Desktop\CygSetup.exe

(replace N: with any drive name... like X:\ or Q:\)

i simply point (Cyg)Setup.exe to n:\Cygtemp\ and it picks up the
mirror automatically. also, i should note that there is no way to get
_every_ package in the repository. can this be done easily?
