I tried the beta version Max suggested and it also exhibits the same behaviour on my win2k laptop; i.e. sucks up huge mem (depletes VM), and yet after more than 1 hour of running, it still says 1% of base-files 1.1-1 is installed. The "total" progress meter shows only about a sliver of "progress" :)
Am running win2K with latest updates (service pack 3). Also, I have been updating my cygwin installation for over a year now, and this is the first time I have encountered this problem.
