Hi, I have experienced a similar problem with downloading the 32-bit installer.
I have just attempted to download the setup-x86.exe file from cygwin.com; I have attempted this on both a Windows XP SP3 machine (yes I know) and a Windows 7 Pro SP1 machine. In both cases Symantec's Norton Internet Security has removed the downloaded file, and then submitted a Symantec 'Statistical Submission: WS.Reputation.1' to Norton Community Watch: http://www.symantec.com/security_response/writeup.jsp?docid=2010-051308-1854-99 I have never previously experienced Symantec anti-virus causing a problem of any kind with Cygwin; it has always correctly identified the source of the installer. I am using the latest version (as of this morning) of Nortons and it's definitions. I noted that the size of the downloaded file at both 769kB (this at 2014-12-22 12:04 UTC) and 734kB (this at 2014-12-22 09:08 UTC) is considerably smaller than a download of the same version (v1.7.33) performed on 2014-11-18 (at 879kB approx). Is there something being missed from the build that be the cause of the problem?
