mirrors.lst is updated twice a day. setup.bz2 is updated frequently. It is possible to add the kind of functionality that you're talking about, though. It's just a simple matter of programming. Unfortunately, the wisher to doer ratio for cygwin is pretty high so it is unlikely that anyone would be implementing anything like this. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
