I changed my setting in "Select Your Internet Connection" to "Use System Proxy Settings" instead of "Direct Connection". It worked like a charm.

After spending a lot of time trying different things, I was able to get it working after pasting the ftp link in the cygwin User url input box. Go to the Cygwin mirrors page and then search for ftp and copy any of the ftp link by right clicking on it. Now restart the setup wizard from starting and then copy this ftp link and you should be able to download the dependencies. The below screenshot highlights the ftp that I used.

A silly problem-solution with the same symptoms, sharing for future reference - I was using an old installer, downloading the latest version fixed this immediately

i found a solution to this problem:

first, go to https://cygwin.com/mirrors.html , look for your location and click onto the FTP link.

Then, you should see 4 folders:

noarch, unsupported, x86, x86_64

click on "go back" or something like this (go back 1 folder). Then you should see a many folders. Search the"cygwin" folder and simply drag it to your desktop. Now you should have a shortcut to this FTP Folder. Now, right-click the shortcut and click onto "properties" and copy the URL.

Now, you can open the installation program. Click on "Install from Internet", All Users / Just Me (your choice), Use System Proxy Settings. Now you will get an error message (if you already got that error, it wont show up again). Ignore the error and it will ask you for "available Download Sites". Paste the URL from the shortcut into the "User URL" and click on "add". Then, a "Select Package" Window will show up. click on "all" and then on "next".

Finished!

(Im using firefox and windows 7 32bit VM VB)

Now some guys will ask: Why didnt you just put the ftp link directly into the setup?

Well, i tried that and setup crashed on me every single time. With the shortcut it worked fine.

I hope this will help. (my english skills are trash, i know)

  • In Select Connection Type Page, Select Direct Connection and click Next
  • User URL text box ftp://cygwin.mirrors.pair.com and Click Add
  • Select the same URL from Available Download Sites list and proceed Next.

It worked for me.

The solution for me was enabling TLS 1.2 support in Internet Properties. But hold on! You'd better update your Windows before, because there is an update that enables support for this protocol by default. If you don't want to update your Windows, for reasons, follow these steps:

  1. Go to Internet Properties, you can find this in start menu, in control panel, or hit Win + R and run: Inetcpl.cpl.
  2. Go to "Advanced" tab.
  3. Scroll to "Security" section.
  4. Check Use TLS 1.2 option.

Run Cygwin installer again and now it should work. If not, maybe try with other security options.

How did I find out this

After a few failed install attempts, I decided to look for some hints in Event Viewer, and to my surprise, I found them. In System logs I spot lots of errors from Schannel service with a meaningless description:

The following fatal alert was received: 70.

I Googled for further explanations. Errors like these are caused by SSL failures, so something wrong was happening between Cygwin installer and Cygwin site. Something in my head told me to check Internet Properties for options relating to security, so I did and I found disabled protocols.

I do not have admin privileges on this windows 10 host, but this worked:

setup-x86_64.exe -B -O -s http://mirror.clarkson.edu/cygwin

which allowed me to install cygwin from that one mirror site.

"Run as administrator" did the trick for me .... (Win 7) If run without the list is blank, for whatever reason admin privileges are needed for the mirror list to load.

Had the same error today, my solution was to :

move the setup-x86_64.exe out of the Download folder into e.g. c:\tmp

i think the cygwin setup process has some problems with creating a temporary file in the same directory of its installer due to a lack of permissions and does not show an error message

Just go to website https://cygwin.com/mirrors.html

Chose the mirror web address nearest to you by clicking right and select the option "SAVE LINK ADDRESS" from the menu.

Paste it into the "USER URL" then click "ADD" and press "NEXT". Hope it will work. Good Luck.......!

This works for me.

Also, https://cygwin.com/mirrors.lst has several alternate URL's, depending upon the request location (your location).

I just met the same problems. At the very beginning, I chose the first option which is directly connect, but I can not get any downloading websites as the image showed above. Then I tried to back and chose the second one which is select your internet collection, the same result is displayed on the screen.

The solution is that we have to restart the installer and directly choose the second option. If you still don't get any websites, please be patient, try one more but still need to restart the installer. I just tried three times, maybe four times, which I can not remember, but it worked finally.

Hoped that can help you guys.
