Perl not completely downloading for cygwin

Perl not completely downloading for cygwin

[matt.pettis]

Hi,

I am trying to download perl 5.10.1-5 for cygwin through setup.exe, but it usually ends up at around 99% complete and then throws the error "download incomplete.  Try again?"  I've tried a couple of different http repositories, but I get the same error on the ones I tried.  I do have Windows versions of perl on here (ActiveState and Strawberry), but I want this one mostly so that I can just run `ack' with other unix-like tools on my windows box.  Does anybody know if there is a known issue with this?

Thanks,
Matt

That worked, thank you!
There were a lot of dialogs that said that there were things that were null that were tried to be opened, but when I cleared them, I opened cygwin and did `perl -v' and saw what I had downloaded.
Thanks again,Matt

You might try splitting it up into two operations.
1. "Download Without Installing".
2. "Install from Local Directory".

Good luck,
