RE: Setup 2.218.2.9 fails to read setup.ini file from prc-tools mirror
In order to make this work, I had to modify the file c:\cygwin\etc\setup\last-mirror and remove the final '/'. Then it worked fine for me. Thanks all for the help.

I just tried this myself, and got the same result (I used direct connection, rather than IE settings). Yet, wget gets the file fine. Hmm, ah yes. DON'T put the last '/' in. Works fine for me now.

I pointed my browser at http://prc-tools.sourceforge.net/install/setup.ini and successfully downloaded a copy of the setup.ini file. Two questions: (1) is there a way to make setup.exe use the setup.ini from my drive, rather than getting a copy from the prc-tools site?
