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.

<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.

<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.

<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.

<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?
