To see your proxy config, try running: $ wget -q -O - `ipconfig | \ sed '/^\s\+Connection-specific DNS Suffix[. ]\+:\s/!d; s///;/^\s*$/d;s ^ http://wpad. ;s $ /wpad.dat ' | sort -u` My ISP returns: function FindProxyForURL(url, host) { return("DIRECT"); } Yours may point to a proxy server. You may bypass this in Setup dialogue "Select Your Internet Connection" by selecting "Direct Connection", unless you are blocked from directly connecting to the internet from your system. > However, when a package is downloaded, it seems it is stored twice : > one time into the IE disk cache and one other time into the cygwin > packages disk cache. Setup does not use IE for downloading or INetCache for its packages. I never use IE and have seen no sign of IE cache files appearing after downloads using Setup or any other products. Perhaps you have an (old/poor) Anti-Virus product which downloads files into the IE cache for scanning or unzipping, rather than unzipping and checking the download as it comes down the wire? See https://cygwin.com/acronyms/#BLODA and the link in that entry to https://cygwin.com/faq/faq.html#faq.using.bloda > Is there a way to make setup.exe understand the auto-configuration > script without any web browser ? In Setup dialogue "Select Your Internet Connection" you can select "Use Internet Explorer Proxy Settings", if you can not use a direct connection. -- Take care.
