Yes, I know that.
The original message could have had the phrase
"at the top level" though I thought, obviously
incorrectly, that the explicit path to the
containing directory would be clear.
Click on this link to see the existing file:
http://cygwin.get-software.com/md5.sum
or this one to see that it is missing:
http://mirrors.kernel.org/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/md5.sum
This is the md5.sum file for setup.exe, setup.ini etc.
Note that the file mod times are "fresh" in those
sites that have it.
