The original post isn't clear to me, but implies that everything, not just the setup.ini packages list, is redownloaded... If this is referring to setup.ini, this is expected for the reason stated. If this is referring to _everything_... if package XYZ is the same version as the last time it was downloaded, it should not have changed, and should not need to be redownloaded. If the version has changed, certainly a download of the new version is in order, but if it has not changed, there should be no need or consideration of the remote file having changed. Even the test builds specifically not intended for production use increment version numbers when updated for a change in the build. I think some clarification on this from the original poster is needed. -- Erik -- 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
