Hello! I cannot see a clue why the link is not working. From here https://www.cygwin.com/install.html I had find out I need to use information from this part of the table: Table: Windows Vista Windows Server 2008 (NT 6.0) All 32-bit Windows current 3.3.6 32-bit: http://ctm.crouchingtigerhiddenfruitbat.org/pub/cygwin/circa/2022/11/23/063457 or the URL for any sourceware mirror, followed by cygwin-archive/20221123 The file appropriated for my system is actually of the source link, but the link does not work. I had not attended websites by these ways: https://sourceware.org/mirrors.html http://ctm.crouchingtigerhiddenfruitbat.org/pub/cygwin/circa/2022/11/23/063457 It is because I wanted clearify the situation why the main link does not work. Also I had tried to download this file https://cygwin.com/setup/setup-2.938-uncompressed.x86.exe from this soruce https://cygwin.com/setup/ and no change about results of the download. Also I am not searching for the proxy websites anymore after that all the proxies I had found were blocked. The last web-proxy I had used was www croxy proxy com. Additionally, I do not care about Roskomnadzor because my Browser properly displays all text information from https://www.cygwin.com but it is impossible to download just a file 1+ MB size. I suspect it might be blamed on something from other side than me and my provider and the government. Sharuzzaman Ahmat Raslan [email protected] <quote>I just downloaded the setup-x86_64.exe file from Malaysia again, and no issues were found.</quote> Thank you for the advice. I supposedly will use one of these many links from mirrors, but now I have another question. <quote>I believe you failed to download because your ISP is blocking access. If you are from Russia, highly likely that your ISP is filtering files from outside the country.</quote> Why an ISP may be of that interest, I am sorry I don't know. <quote>As an alternative, you might want to use a VPS in a different country, eg. from Europe, download the setup-x86_64.exe in that VPS, then later transfer to your laptop, or use a VPN to connect to a remote location outside your country.</quote> These kind of pay services, I am not ready for that right now, I am just investigating. Jon Turney [email protected] <quote>We don't know! I confirmed that I can also download and execute the file, with its expected size of ~1.6MB. Since we are not inundated with people screaming about this, the obvious conclusion to draw is that this is some peculiarity of your computer, network, proxy or ISP causing a problem only for you. As a workaround, you might try accessing the files via: https://www.cygwin.com/install.html https://cygwin.com/setup/</quote> Thank you for these links, I had used they. Andrey Repin [email protected] <quote>But it's quite important. I'll give you a hint: РКН.</quote> I have no reasons to state so, no messages on forums, news, etc. <quote>Use a proxy somewhere in the open internet. I just hope it's a local issue, and not a bad choice of the sourceware supervisors.</quote> No proxies available anymore, yes, I think it may be due to the restrictions. Brian Inglis [email protected] <quote>Unlikely to be anything to do with Sourceware projects, although mailing lists' content could sometimes disturb the politically sensitive, with conference invitations, talks, and discussion tracks mentioned? ;^></quote> I want to try this project, my way. By the way, how can I make black squares inherited from higher levels of thread? -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
