Actually they are both working. The fact that you can't see them does not mean that sourceware.org can't see them. sourceware.org maintains the list. >Only basemirror.de works. > >Why all the working mirrors disappear and why do the most of the remaining not >work ?? >Who made this decision ? Perhaps reading http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html might help you understand. The short answer is that the mirror does not have a current set of packages. If it does get up to date soon it will automatically go back on the list.
