The problem still persists: there's really something wrong in the distribution of the installer... Try running this posix script (I just tried it on a bare metal linux machine): #!/bin/sh set -o errexit set -o nounset url=https://cygwin.com/setup-x86_64.exe printf 'Downloading %s multiple times (press Ctrl+C to stop)\n' "$url" while :; do printf 'Downloading... ' size=$(curl -s -o /dev/null -w '%{size_download}' "$url") printf 'done: %s bytes\n' $size sleep 1 done Here's what I get: Downloading https://cygwin.com/setup-x86_64.exe multiple times (press Ctrl+C to stop) Downloading... done: 1407507 bytes Downloading... done: 1407507 bytes Downloading... done: 0 bytes Downloading... done: 0 bytes Downloading... done: 0 bytes Downloading... done: 0 bytes Downloading... done: 0 bytes Downloading... ^C So, unless the file is served by a Microsoft service, I don't think MS has anything to do with this issue... Maybe there's some sort of protection from downloading the installer multiple times from the same IP? That would break big companies (who may have many PC internally but just 1 public IP), as well as services like GitHub Actions (which may have just a few of public IPs).... That's really something that should be fixed... -- Michele -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
