Then try downloading again. Select a different mirror site this time and make sure that you have the latest setup.exe: http://cygwin.com/setup.exe > There > are security issues with downloading Cygwin before installing ViperDB or > similar software under Cygwin and that is why I am interested in obtaining > Cygwin by CD. What?!? Security issues?!? If you need Cygwin on a CD I'll be glad to sell the service of creating one for you for $300. Cash or check. No COD. > My current workaround is just to download Cygwin using the > fastest connection available and then burn a CD although that doesn't > solve the problem with downloading source code) It sure does solve the problem. Choose the "Download from Internet" option on the second screen of setup. Set the package directory to a temporary directory that contains setup.exe, then burn that directory to a CD. Problem solved.
