Subject: cygwin setup dies

Platform: WindowsNT/2000/XP
grass obtained from: Trento Italy site
grass binary for platform: Downloaded precompiled Binaries
GRASS Version: 5.4 and 6.0

I have only a modem to install cygwin via setup.  Every time I start the process
from the web site I get through a few dialog windows and then the process dies.
I have turned off my virus sheilds and firewalls.  

Is there a way to download the cygwin install/setup and run it from my computer?
(I have already downloaded the setup.exe but when it runs it also crashes). 
I already downloaded all the required files for GRASS
 Mesa-6.2-cygwin.tar.gz               11-Dec-2004 18:30   1.2M  
 config.log                           11-Dec-2004 15:15     1k  
 gdal-1.2.3-cygwin.tar.gz             11-Dec-2004 18:31   2.8M  
 grass5.4.0_i686-pc-cygwin_bin.tar.gz 11-Dec-2004 15:13  11.0M

 tcltk-8.4.7-cygwin.tar.gz   
from a faster connection.  I just need the cygwin install to work and it doesnt
from the web... or it takes hours via the web.  What do I do?  Thanks, Bob at
3k modem speed.

I have no idea about getting Cygwin to install, but from a fast
connection you can download Cygwin & GRASS on a CD and install from
there. See this site:
