Great idea, didn't work for me :-(

Downloaded setup.exe (1.1.2.14) from mirror.ac.uk, took 'install from
internet', 'direct connection' choices, got as far as the


  'Downloading Packages

   mirrors.lst

   Connecting'

step and nothing happened.  Cancelled after several minutes, same
thing.  Any way I can help with more information?  Running Win2K,
Cygwin1.1.8, no problems with Cygwin setup in the past, and I checked
just now and it got past the mirrors.lst step without problems.
