How to configure cygwin setup to proceed without warning notification popup

When cygwin retrieves the setup information from the list of servers, it pops up a message if it is unable to do so for a particular server. It does not proceed until the user has clicked ok on this message. Is it possible to configure the set up to proceed without the notification? I turned on
