That's really not a good solution. I don't have control over the mirrors or would know why one isn't working. I think a new command-line argument should be added that makes Cygwin setup pick one of the mirrors it knows is good from the list it downloads. A command-line argument is the way to go, but a text file with a list of known good mirrors that could be downloaded and parsed by a script would also be of great help. Cygwin already checks the status of its mirros as far as I know. And for some reason, using the mirror of "http://cygwin.mirror.constant.com/" on Windows Server 2008 sometimes causes it to randomly crash complaining about a runtime c++ error without any good information output into the setup log. Like I said, when I run the setup manually, the list of mirrors it pulls does not contain "http://cygwin.mirror.constant.com/". I'd much rather rely on Cygwin's list than one hard coded site value for a mirror which may or may not be up-to-date. -- 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
