Hi Jason,

    I tried all three of the URL's that
you provided.  Both

http://mirrors.pdinc.us/setup.exe.gz
http://mirrors.pdinc.us/cygwin-htdocs/setup.exe

gave me a 'wget' process that seemed to
hang.  I had to kill it after a few minutes.
They both yielded files in my directory that
have the correct names, but are empty.

    The URL

http://cygwin.com/setup.exe?qww4032i498322398472398472389472389473249832749=
823

gave me a file of approximately 11.4 kBt.
I gave it a shorter name, and asked for an
md5sum:

$ md5sum setup.exe
f33b4c53b39485c1ecc528a95517534d *setup.exe

It is certainly not correct.

      I thought this morning that this was
some piddly problem that would go away soon,
but I am apparently mistaken.

      Can this be some kind of insidious
site-blocking that is being implemented by
the persons who manage network security for
my institution?  My only good test will be
tonight when I arrive home to try the download
from my DSL-network.
