Quite, but the idea of corruption was implicit in that question. A
digital signature would rule that out.

Not in this case, no.  You inferred the wrong thing from the quote
above.  Corinna's suggestion was that the mirror containing the packages
was malformed in some way, not that that 'setup.exe' itself was
somehow corrupted.

What's with the hostility? It's really bad etiquette... ;)

That would be<http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#WJM>. It makes life more livable. :-)

Or, it could also be that hostility was inexplicably inferred where none was intended, i.e., "We're communicating on the internet!"

Oh, THAT. Yeah, it could just be that. ;-)


But seriously, yes.  I know I didn't read any hostility in your reply.
My response was a (very) roundabout way of saying that.  The smiley was
clearly too subtle. :-(  Sorry 'bout that.
