Some mirrors fall really behind on the latest updates. I used the following procedure to find the best mirror: after a new cygwin package is released, I first browsed ftp://cygwin.com/ to find that package (it can't be downloaded from there), and then looked at the mirrors until I found one that had the package. You may want to find two or three and compare them for speed, though. I haven't used the mirrors in Asia, but archive.progeny.com seems to be reasonably quick with their updates (within a day), and there are others that update even faster. > I wonder setup has problems recognizing the versions of > packages.(I have perl-5.8.0-1 but setup always displays > "5.6.0 is new.") This has nothing to do with setup. perl-5.8.0 is marked 'experimental', and thus not offered as an upgrade unless you select the 'Exp' radio button.
