When I go to web page http://cygwin.com/
then I can download CygWin from there (currently the file "setup-x86_64.exe"). Unfortunately this file is just an installer which retrieves in turn several other files from Internet and remote servers. Since I have no overview what is downloaded from which server I distrust such installers in general. I prefer full packages which contains everything needed and can be inspected in advance (e.g. by virus scanners) before actual installation. 99,9% of all software is offered in such a way. Why use Cygwin such a fishy distribution way? Is there really no full package to download?
