How to remove a nirror from the cygwin set x86 64 mirrors list.

How to remove a nirror from the cygwin set x86 64 mirrors list.

[Chris Johnson]

I added a bad url to the mirrors list in setup that lets you chose or 
add  a mirror.  It's a bad mirror and I want to remove it.  It might be  
my  inability to phrase it properly  but I'm unable to find how to  do 
this  in the User manual, the FAQ, the  archives or the web.

I'm running Win 7 and cygwin_setupx86_64.exe  calling itself version 
2.876 for some reason.

Is there a file I can edit or rename/move or replace the will allow me 
to remove this  bad url from the setup mirror list?  The only info I've 
found about this is a file called list-mirror but I can't find it anywhere.

Thank you.

Just not selecting that mirror will avoid ut, unless the content messes up setup.

Setup has its own version.
