That's exactly right, you want to download all the files and directories that you see there. What someone else is suggesting is that you use a utility that will download the whole thing, so you don't have to browse each folder and manually click each one of them to download. Teleport pro is a windows utility that will do this, but it's commercial, wget may be your best option if you have access to a linux box or if you can use google to find an alternative, that would work too.

Can you dumb it down for me a little more?
I don't have a wget tool installed on w2k desktop. If I want to use this mirror:
http://cygwin.get-software.com/
And the top folder on that mirror shows these files:
Parent Directory 07-May-2003 04:45 - mail-archives/ 09-May-2003 05:29 - md5.sum 08-May-2003 20:54 1k release/ 09-May-2003 05:44 - setup.bz2 08-May-2003 20:10 45k setup.exe 07-Apr-2003 06:20 253k setup.exe.old 08-Mar-2003 17:08 180k setup.ini 08-May-2003 20:10 176k tmp/ 09-May-2003 05:29 - xfree/ 09-May-2003 05:29 -
What should folder should I grab? Should I grab everything in the release folder and download it into a folder on my computer called 'cygwin_packages_I_downloaded'?
Thanks for the help.
