But nothing intrinsically different to phenomena already reported by others. But my question, or observation, is about the new possibility of downloading/ installing setup*src* files. There's no binary, and so no record is kept of whether a user has or has not "installed" these files. So, irrespectively and interminably, the offer to do so is repeatedly made at subsequent visits to http://cygwin.com/setup.exe. Yes? That's my experience anyway. (At least, it is when All Default is clicked to All Install.) For all other packages, the source files are offered as an optional extra to the binaries, so the situation does not arise.
