Installation Fails (Hangs?) on plain vanilla XP Machine

[surendar jeyadev <jeyadev3 at yahoo dot com>]

I am trying to install Cygwin on a standard Windows XP
set up.
When I run 'setup.exe', it hangs at the point where is
starts
to download the 'mirrors.lst' file. The is no activity
in the
progress bar and I noted no disk or net activity for
30 min.
Retried 3 times to no avail. The log file is included
below.

---------------------------------------------------

A couple of questions. What are McShield and McAfee
doing here?
I run Norton Internet Security. Could that be the
problem? But,
turning off the firewall did nothing to help.

Any help can be appreciated.

thanks
