Hello! I've been trying the mirrors I know and a few I've only heard about. I did indeed try that one. Same problem. Is it possible that there are a lot of people at work updating their systems? Next question: Would anyone know what's involved with setting up a mirror? I am seriously considering talking to the people at the AWS end of Amazon about renting sufficient space on their storage farm for just such a function. And then yes following normal procedures to announce it and not waste time here with that bit of news. ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drw...@gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again." -- 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
