Possible SETUP.EXE bug - failed download reports wrong percent completion

Possible SETUP.EXE bug - failed download reports wrong percent completion

[Jim Reisert AD1C]

I had my recent download fail part-way through a few times.  Each time
it went back to the "select FTP/HTTP" download host screen.

I just noticed that the window heading now says, "221% - Cygwin Setup"
(and increasing).  I'm guessing that some counter is not being reset
when this condition occurs.  I.e. if my previous download had obtained
75% before it failed, and the next one obtained 75% before it failed,
the new one would start with 150% downloaded and grow from there.  The
line showing incremental download progress, in the form:

    44 % (71000K/158994K) 288.1 kB/s

seems to have correct %.  I'm guessing that's the # that should be in
the window header.

More specific details:

"Cygwin Setup - Download Incomplete. Try again?"
Cygwin Setup says 320%.

I click on "YES" and am brought to the "Choose Download Site(s)"
window. I click Next (to get to Select Packages), then click Next
again.

This time Window header started at 0%.  I did the exact same thing all
previous times, but I don't see how header is going to report > 100%
this time.

Current download is up to 155% according to window header.  It has not
stopped as incomplete (yet).  Window status shows 29% downloaded.
"Total:" progress bar is 100% full (probably more like 155% full).
Package and Disk progress bars look normal (both < 100 %).

the issue is already known and reported a lot of time.
If your downlowad size > 32bit capability the % indicator
is not reliable.

Nothing to worry about, except "why do you need install almost all ?"
