Download link broken

[Greenhill, Lloyd]

Hi Cygwin ,

I am trying to download the software but the link appears to be broken,

https://x.cygwin.com/

attempted to install from several different browsers and several Pcs (personal and company)

Please advise if there is any other way to download the software or provide an additional link

Thanks

It is strange that that link does not work, but just start from
cygwin.com.  The use Cygwin/X you need to install Cygwin and whatever
other components / tools you want.  It is not suggested to try to
install *everything* - but you can look for X and X applications
you like.

That is a web page which contains instructions:

"*Downloading and Installing*

Cygwin/X is installed via Cygwin's Installer, setup-x86_64.exe, and the 
installation process is documented in the Cygwin/X User's Guide."

with links to:

	http://cygwin.com/setup-x86_64.exe
	https://x.cygwin.com/docs/ug/

As Cygwin is a software installation and download site, some corporate, 
commercial, and possibly retail, ISP filters may block it.
Some filters block all attempted downloads, and may block address ranges 
belonging to those sites.
You might want to ask someone in your PC support group or IT department.

Try downloading from an unfiltered corporate PC (often within PC support 
groups or IT departments), home (with corporate filters or AV products 
disabled), via an alternate ISP, or via a free VPN.

If you could post error codes and
