Separating downloading and installing is not going to help a download problem. I've already mentioned the two things that are likely to fix the problem: 1) Making sure that there are no problems with your local network like firewalls or other filters. 2) Using another mirror. > - Download only one package at a time. That would probably help but it's difficult to achieve if you haven't updated your system in a while. cgf -- 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
