Re: badspammer and cygwin setup


Hi Igor

sorry about that last message text seems to had a few problems

OK - I have tried to download the setup.exe program from cygwin site

as soon as I try, I get rrouted to badspammer.html - why? my PC appears to think this is a spambot

I am using windows XP with SP2 installed

I am also using Norton Internet Security

I have broadband connected to wireless network

I have tried IE 5.0, Firefox, and Netscape all do the same

Any ideas?

Dave

Huh?

(runs windows XP with SP2)  thinks its a spambot and I get re-directed to
badspammer.html

any ideas?

Dave,


Which browser do you use?  Do you use proxies?  Anonymizer sites?  Please
provide more details about your network setup...

On a different note (a general question to the list), any reason why
setup.exe isn't mirrored?  Can the setup executable (with a versioned
name) be placed in the Cygwin package root directory (i.e., where
setup.bz2/setup.ini usually goes)?
Igor
