Hi all,
seems like access to cygwin.com is now blocked to El Salvador?
I had to use a VPN to download the installer.
Apologies for the inconvenience!
sourceware is constantly dealing with aggressive scraperbots (similar to
those described at [1]), and sometimes heavy handed blocks are applied
to maintain service for everyone else, unfortunately impacting some
innocent bystanders.
For the benefit of anyone else who might have this problem in future,
I'll mention that you can contact sourceware overseers e.g. on the
overseers@ (public) or admin-requests@ (private) mailing list on
sourceware.org (as per [2]), providing your IP address, and they will be
able to unblock you.
