Looks like it's a temporary glitch, as it works fine for me when I tried
it just now.

Two other things to note though:

1. cygwinports.org is not cygwin.com so asking questions about it on
   cygwin.com mailing lists is really off-topic.  cygwinports.org has its
   own mailing list if you have further questions about the packages and
   services it provides.

2. This list is reserved for Cygwin-X-specific issues.  So if you have
   questions in the future related to Cygwin-X, this is the right mailing
   list.  Otherwise, if it's a more general Cygwin issue, the main list
   (cygwin at cygwin dot com) is the right place.
