If you look a the mirrors list at http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html, you'll see that mirrors.rcn.net is not listed, indicating that it is not up-to-date. setup.exe uses this list (the last I checked) to generate its mirror list. It doesn't (apparently) drop the mirror from the cache when it becomes invalid and it probably shouldn't do this. Anyway, since there are a number of other up-to-date mirrors on that page, I'm not sure how there could be something specifically wrong with libpopt0 in that case. It's probably some problem in setup.exe itself. cgf
