RFE: enhance setup.exe to used cached mirrors file (was Re: sourceware.orgdowntime)


I 2nd this request -- wanted to install some other packages but was
blocked by the mirrors.txt download -- maybe it could use a cached
copy of mirrors.txt to look at other mirror files -- i.e. cache mirrors.txt
on the existing mirrors so if cygwin server is down, setup would use
existing mirrors to avoid a single point of failure -- but still
check mirrors.txt on cygwin.com if it was up.

Would not it be great if Cygwin's setup did not just fail if mirrors.lst is unavailable and continued with just last server in the list? I tried to install Cygwin KDE, but setup was failing on a completely unrelated to what I was doing problem.
