To: cygwin@cygwin.com Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 X-SW-Source: 2015-10/txt/msg00432.txt.bz2 Cygwin setup process my turn to endless retry-error on bad internet channels, because: 1. setup doesn't know how to retry download (why it fails to download anyway?); 2. setup doesn't use cache of previously downloaded files and always redownload all packages from the beginning. How possible I may overcome this situation? -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
