Selected "All" to "download only"
About 31% of the way through, a dialog box with the following popped up:
Can't open
C:\users\clark\Public\PC-SystemStuff\cygwin-1.7.5_2010.07.23\cygwin-1.7.
5_2010.07.23_Download\http%3a%2f%2fmirrors.kernel.org%2fsourceware%2fcyg
win%2f\release\GNOME\gobject-introspection1.0-0.6.14-1.tar.bz2.tmp for
writing: No such file or directory
The directory:
C:\users\clark\Public\PC-SystemStuff\cygwin-1.7.5_2010.07.23\cygwin-1.7.
5_2010.07.23_Download\http%3a%2f%2fmirrors.kernel.org%2fsourceware%2fcyg
win%2f\release\GNOME\gobject-introspection
exists.
Any idea what is wrong? I am running on Windows XP SP3.
Thanks.

Thanks, the shorter path worked.
Checking the base path against the longest path to be retrieved before
the setup starts might be a good enhancement so that the user can get a
helpful message.

I'm not sure, but you're pushing right up against the limits of a
win32 file path there. Does it work if you use a local package
directory with a shorter path? Try something directly under
C:\users\clark\Public and see if that works, or maybe just removing one
of the "cygwin-1.7.5_2010.07.23" levels from your existing path will
make it short enough.
cheers,

Correction (See below)
Selected "All" to "download only"

Any idea what is wrong? I am running on Windows XP SP3.
