Hello, Yesterday I've tried to install Cygwin from scratch on Win2k Pro / SP3 with the experimental setup 2.303. This was a fresh copy of Win2k, just installed on the machine, and next I've tried to install Cygwin. I chose 'Install from Internet' and as a download site ftp://archive.progeny.com. On the package chooser screen I haven't touched anything i.e. I wanted only packages from Base to be installed. I've tried twice with the same settings and both tries were unsuccessful. What happens is that at some point during the package download, setup would hang, when it reaches the last block of data for a given package i.e. it displays something like 1005 of 1013 k. Ok, I launched a cmd window and typed 'netstat' - I saw the following:
rama.progeny.com:ftp CLOSE_WAIT rama.progeny.com:49984 ESTABLISHED I left setup for several hours but nothing changed. It would just sit there and wait on that screen :) If anyone is going to try to hunt this, please, try to connect to ftp://archive.progeny.com - I suspect maybe it's something in the behaviour of their ftp server which fools setup.
