However, Cygwin is not a monolithic entity. I doubt any individual Cygwin package will take more than 2 hours to download at 128k... I suggest you use the "Download from Internet" option of setup.exe to download packages incrementally, and then use "Install from Local Directory" to install them. Or you could search the Cygwin mailing list archives (at <http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/>) for "clean_setup" to see the alternative methods of package management. There have also been posts from time to time with instructions on creating your own distribution CD.
