You can change the web site using apt-cyg mirror <uri> or edit /etc/setup/setup.rc /last-mirror/+1 directly. > myuser@mypc ~/junk/cygwin > $ wget https://cygwin.com/setup-x86_64.exe > --2016-12-01 10:52:10-- https://cygwin.com/setup-x86_64.exe > Resolving superproxy.our.wonder.place > (superproxy.our.wonder.place)... an.ip.address.here > Connecting to superproxy.our.wonder.place > (superproxy.our.wonder.place)|an.ip.address.here|:port... connected. > Proxy tunneling failed: Proxy Authentication RequiredUnable to > establish SSL connection. > myuser@mypc ~/junk/cygwin > $ wget --user=myuser --password=mypasswd > https://cygwin.com/setup-x86_64.exe > --2016-12-01 10:53:22-- https://cygwin.com/setup-x86_64.exe > Resolving superproxy.our.wonder.place > (superproxy.our.wonder.place)... an.ip.address.here > Connecting to superproxy.our.wonder.place > (superproxy.our.wonder.place)|an.ip.address.here|:port... connected. > Proxy request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK > Length: 910336 (889K) [application/octet-stream] > Saving to: ‘setup-x86_64.exe’ > setup-x86_64.exe 100% > [===========================================================>] > 889.00K 719KB/s in 1.2s > 2016-12-01 10:53:24 (719 KB/s) - ‘setup-x86_64.exe’ saved > [910336/910336] curl -v sometimes shows when server status codes are returned instead of web pages, allowing you to add options to proceed further, step by step. wget -d can also provide more useful information. Packet analyzers like wireshark etc. can let you see what programs like setup are doing (wrong), when compared to wget working correctly. -- Take care.
