Hi Andrea,
For a workaround until someone can (re)add this to setup.exe the command
line apt installer can use "--mirror=URL" syntax. Local paths need to
use "file:///d:/path/to/packages" format.
The mirror used is remembered for future invocations, meaning you have
to change it back to the default manually, e.g.:
apt --mirror=http://download.osgeo.org/osgeo4w update
pkg-apt: http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/wiki/pkg-apt
cheers,
matt wilkie

Hi all, how difficult would it be to enable mirror choosing for the
osgeo4w installer?
Since I remember the cygwin installer has the mirrors tab, I was
trying to understand if that one had only been "hidden".
Given all the problems that are occurring in several countries in
downloading from the main repo, it would be very nice to be able to
choose a mirror.
I tried to pass the mirror address to the installer via --site option,
but it doesn't work.
Thanks,
Andrea
