Thank you for all the replies. The problem was a firewall setting. Better debug output in the log would have helped to track it down myself.

Setup.exe 2.573.2.2 unable to retrieve mirror list and setup.ini/setup.bz2
Hi everyone, I downloaded today´s setup.exe from http://cygwin.com/ and have problems running it. I want to run it as a non-administrator-user to just download the files. So I say Just downlioad, then I give it the proxy settings for my network. The first problem is an empty mirror list. Then I add mirror urls and try to proceed but it is unable to retrieve the setup.bz2/.ini from any of the different mirrors. I checked the setup.log but it does not give any error codes or reasons why downloading failed. I appended my complete mirror log. I am running WinXP Professional SP2. Of course I searched the mailinglist. The posts that resembled my problem were answered with Try another mirror. Well I tried all the mirrors in this log in my Firefox. I double-checked the proxy settings. Is there a way to make setup.exe output errors in more detail ?

RE: Setup.exe 2.573.2.2 unable to retrieve mirror list and setup.ini/setup.bz2
I can open the mirror list with IE. I tried both, using the IE settings and providing it with the proxy information myself in setup.exe. The log reflects this, i.e. it says net: IE5 or net: Proxy. Setup.exe could say how this connection failed, failure to connect to the server or a File not found response or a DNS lookup failure. Additionally it could specify explicitely which network settings have been used, i.e. Proxy server and port, or elaborate on the settings retrieved from IE. I do believe that the problem lies in the local network settings, probably in combination with the way setup tries to obtain the files but without further information I cannot verify anything. Is there a backup method with which I can trick setup.exe into believing that I have the files already or provide them locally? I couldn´t find anything about this in the Documentation. By simply providing all files locally I could install cywin after downloading all necessary files to my computer.

Hmm, the above URL is exactly the one it uses for retrieving the mirror list.

First, I'd save the mirror list as /etc/setup/mirrors-lst (prime the cache, so to say) and run setup again (hoping it can then access the individual mirrors). Or you can use setup on another machine in download mode, copy the whole directory tree to your machine, and then tell setup to Install from local directory. Another way is to mirror the repository on some site you *can* connect to and add that as a mirror explicitly. It would still be interesting to see why Use IE5 settings fails on your machine while you can retrieve the mirror list via IE itself... Do you have to log in to your proxy? If so, did you run setup after you logged in via IE?
