I think the feature to consult the cached mirror list was added too recently to have been in the stable version. > http://cygwin.mirrors.hoobly.com) then I got an error saying that it was: > "Unable to get setup.ini from <http://cygwin.mirrors.hoobly.com>" > I tried a couple other mirrors and got the same error.

You'll either have to solve that, or do the downloading as a separate step / on a separate machine. It would be interesting to see if it's both http and ftp that fail, but I suspect it is.
