On the second thought I believe that the problem is with setup.exe itself. Because: a) I tried different mirrors. It always fails in somewhere between 80-90% (of total progress). b) I never noticed any problems with downloading files except with Cygwin.

Hmmm, on setup.ini doc says: install: filename size-in-bytes MD5 sum ... The optional MD5 sum is 32 characters from the set 0-9a-f (case matters). ... But, I see too many characters in my setup.ini: install: x86_64/release/cygwin/cygwin-devel/cygwin-devel-2.2.1-1.tar.xz 273004 be6a2b80a8d06d14a56c1e5b2aabb31698d13aa5328dc7b675be9790a874a3a8b0fda9bdf911001e9a8c79439312c9ec9a8e80fb3bd40304ba459bd1e0850a2e MD5 sum of the cached copy is: 58d2bbfd703798714e28263ec3386ec4 *./cygwin/cygwin-devel/cygwin-devel-2.2.1-1.tar.xz Btw, the size of file is correct: $ ls -l ./release/cygwin/cygwin-devel/cygwin-devel-2.2.1-1.tar.xz -rw-r--r-- 1 op None 273004 Oct 25 10:38 ./release/cygwin/cygwin-devel/cygwin-devel-2.2.1-1.tar.xz > >> How possible I may overcome this situation? > > Fix your internet, or download packages where it is better. > If you want partial download support in setup - patches are welcome, I'm sure. > > > -- > With best regards, > Andrey Repin > Sunday, October 25, 2015 16:58:07 > > Sorry for my terrible english... > -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
