I have notes that show what all I need to shut down when doing the install. I caught all them (Cygwin SSHD, Cygwin cygserver, the X Server, and anything running cygwin shells, etc.) - I think that's everything. When I run cygcheck -c, it shows Incomplete on the two packages (nc and nc6) so they definitely had problems, and appear to be the only ones which did. I see that the .bz2 file is in my downloads area (I download to local without install, and then install from local). I tried running bunzip2 on that file and then extracting it using tar. The bunzip2 completed quickly but the tar command took a long time (I'm not sure what it was doing during this time). I'll try shutting everything down and doing a reinstall on the netcat stuff.
