I'm having an issue with cygwin setup over 100% completed and its been running over about 3hrs. Im on a 10+Mbps connection and get about 1.2Mbps max actual download speed on average. But there is no end is sight with this setup. I understand after reading around that I should CHOOSE what I need first.
But after 3hrs of d/l I just wanna let it finish now because I'm not exactly and completely aware of each package I'll need in the end for android native C++ support.
Is there a way to add more mirrors while setup is still running/downloading?
If I 'cancel' (only button to choose) cygwin setup, will it continue later when I restart it? Will canceling it break the package its in the middle of downloading?
The first time you run Cygwin setup I recommend not installing any additional packages. That is to say just hit Next through all the prompts. This should only take a couple of minutes. It will install just the basics, some listed below
bash 4.1.10-4 OK coreutils 8.15-1 OK gawk 4.0.2-1 OK grep 2.6.3-1 OK man 1.6g-2 OK sed 4.2.1-2 OK tar 1.26-1 OK
After that you can go back and install extra packages.
