Hi there,

Did I miss something? I've been using the sargasso.net Cygwin mirror,
but it seems to be gone from the list and I get warnings now when I try
to use it. I imagine there must have been a notice about this that I
missed, but thought I should check.

the process is almost automatic
when a mirror is for some time out of sync, it is removed from the list

Good to know, I will use a different mirror then.

the list is here:

https://cygwin.com/mirrors.html

"Note: We automatically poll these mirrors on a regular basis to ensure 
that mirrors have the latest Cygwin packages available. The list of 
mirrors below reflects all of the mirrors who appear to have up-to-date 
copies of the Cygwin release area."

More importantly - those not under mirrors are here:

	https://cygwin.com/mirrors-report.html

- sargasso.net had a recent cert problem for 35 hours
- it has been renewed recently
- temporary network and cert issues are often quickly cleared up
- it's helpful to contact the mirror site and let them know there's an issue, in 
case they haven't noticed there's an issue with the mirror because it uses a 
different cert, or is on an isolated server, subnet, or VLAN.

This mirror was dropped due to a problem with the SSL cert presented by 
the site.

I contacted the site to inform them about the problem, and they have 
fixed it, so this mirror is back in the list.
