Re: setup.exe: How specify web proxy by command line parameters

Yes, that is what I need. It is great!
There is also the text search field that I missed so many years!
Why is it not yet the default setup.exe?
I would prefere a stable URL without the version number in the URL, something like
http://cygwin.com/setup-current.exe
Otherwise my program would need to probe several URLs with increasing version number.
Using this improved setup.exe there would be only one user interaction left:
The user needs to mark the closest mirror.
I do not think that this could be done automatically at the moment or what do you think?
Many thanks again
Christoph
