Possible bug in setup.exe 2.303 when downloading via ftp

Hello,
Yesterday I've tried to install Cygwin from scratch on Win2k Pro / SP3
with the experimental setup 2.303. This was a fresh copy of Win2k, just
installed on the machine, and next I've tried to install Cygwin. I chose
'Install from Internet' and as a download site ftp://archive.progeny.com.
On the package chooser screen I haven't touched anything i.e. I wanted
only packages from Base to be installed. I've tried twice with the same
settings and both tries were unsuccessful. What happens is that at some
point during the package download, setup would hang, when it reaches the
last block of data for a given package i.e. it displays something like
1005 of 1013 k. Ok, I launched a cmd window and typed 'netstat' - I saw
the following:
rama.progeny.com:ftp CLOSE_WAIT
rama.progeny.com:49984 ESTABLISHED
I left setup for several hours but nothing changed. It would just sit
there and wait on that screen :)
If anyone is going to try to hunt this, please, try to connect to
ftp://archive.progeny.com - I suspect maybe it's something in the
behaviour of their ftp server which fools setup.
