Re: Incomplete downloads reported across several mirrors

Hello!
I've been trying to update this 1.7.5 release of Cygwin since 11AM
EDT, based on the multiple announcements of updated packages. Each
time I select a mirror and select those packages I want to update, the
process starts.

It continues up to some particular point, and then I get the
incomplete download box, and the program wants me to try again. During
the first phase of this attempted update I was working in an area that
has had the rumors of a poorly configured proxy server, although the
information of how this server was configured was never told to me.
(Customer who has an IT department that sometimes resembles the
Anarchists Football League complete with clones of each of their
favorite stars.)

Eventually after several repeated tries there, I waited until a few
minutes ago here, and decided to try again. This time it happened
again with the addition of the mirror based at the Open Software
repository at the Oregon State University.

It's possible you're hitting a mirror during it's update.
