I noticed that the mirror site that I am using via rsync: rsync://mirrors.kernel.org/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/ lost the md5.sum file some time ago (2-3 months?).
*at the top level*
An informal and incomplete check of sites from http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html
indicates these sites have the md5.sum file: http://www.online-mirror.org/cygwin/ http://cygwin.get-software.com/
http://cygwin.get-software.com/md5.sum
and these sites do not have the md5.sum file: http://mirrors.kernel.org/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/ http://cygwin.thehostedbox.com/ http://sigunix.cwru.edu/pub/cygwin/ftp/ http://mirrors.theonlinerecordstore.com/cygwin/ http://sources-redhat.mirrors.redwire.net/cygwin/ http://cygwin.matrix.com.br/ http://ftp.univie.ac.at/packages/cygwin/ http://mirror.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/mirror/cygwin.com/
Should it be at every site?
I don't understand what you mean by "the" md5.sum file. There is a md5 file for every package. If you open <http://mirrors.kernel.org/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/> and traverse into the release subdirectory and look at any package dir, there is a md5.sum file with timestamp corresponding to the same date as the packages. In other words, I don't see anything wrong.

Yes, I know that.
The original message could have had the phrase "at the top level" though I thought, obviously incorrectly, that the explicit path to the containing directory would be clear.
Click on this link to see the existing file: http://cygwin.get-software.com/md5.sum
or this one to see that it is missing: http://mirrors.kernel.org/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/md5.sum
This is the md5.sum file for setup.exe, setup.ini etc.
Note that the file mod times are "fresh" in those sites that have it.
