Hi Christopher, I've figure out one reason in my first post: Our servers ha=
ve
NO internet connection, so I'd better to keep a local copy of install
packages, so that I can upgrade cygwin on servers by choose "Install from
Local Directory" setup type.

There's another reason I don't want to talk about in my first post is our
f**king government can block some websites via the f**king Great Firewall
=E2=95=AD=E2=88=A9=E2=95=AE(=EF=B8=B6=EF=B8=BF=EF=B8=B6)=E2=95=AD=E2=88=A9=
=E2=95=AE.  The sourceforge.net website had been blocked for a very long
time before Olympic 2008 for reason of different political viewpoint of a
project owner.

Currently youtube.com & facebook.com & blogspot.com &
http://python.org/download/ and many other websites are blocked in CN.

One more another reason is our internet connection speed is not very fast,
especially when I choosed a oversea mirror (There's no official mirror site
of Cygwin in CN).

That is why I keep install packages in local disk.=20
