Hi Mark
Is this a kind of a spying firewall that watches HTTPS traffic? If not, then 
maybe you can switch to one of the HTTPS repositories. What's your current repo 
URL? When you open an HTTPS site in your web browser do you see a legit CA in 
the site security information or do you see the Antivirus CA?

Subject: "setup-x86_64.exe" blocked by Proxy/Firewall to 3MB packages

Hello.

We have a Proxy/AV/Firewall which blocks internet downloads to max 3MB size,
then they truncate the file.

So, for example, downloading VIM-COMMON package, which sizes about 6MB, the
xz is truncated to 3MB and the installation fails, obviously.

Is there, actually, a method to bypass this issue?
Will there be some tricks, in next package distribuition, to bypass this
issue/limitation?

 

I know it's a difficult things!!!

The only way is to download the package(s) from another client/server and
copy files in the Cygwin installation path.

 

Thanks.
