Hi folks,

I just picked up a setup.exe for cygwin-1.3.17-1 and did a net install.
Everything downloads fine from planetmirror.com, but when setup starts
installing the packages, I get an installation error for the file
cygwin-1.3.17-1.tar.bz2, which I guess is a pretty important file. What
should I do to start using cygwin?

OS: Windows ME
Installation options: Just the default current packages from a net
install. Used IE5 settings for internet connection.
Error Message:
Installation error (Checksum error for
file://c:\tim\cygwin\http...planetmirror.../release/cygwin/cygwin-1.3.17-1.tar.bz2),
Continue with other packages? [yes] [no]

I've tried a few variations on the process, with the same result. I didn't
try getting the "prev" release, because I don't really want to.
