I was trying to update cygwin but every time I do I keep getting errors
from setup-2.bz2.  The error starts as follows...

http://cygwin.elite-systems.org//setup-2.bz2 line 5591: syntax error,
unexpected STRING, expected NL
http://cygwin.elite-systems.org//setup-2.bz2 line 5591: unrecognized
line 5591 (do you have the latest setup?)

It keeps repeating that second line afterwards.  I tried it again on
another computer with a different connection and it gave the same error.
 Other mirrors tried were http://mirrors.kernel.org,
http://ftp.daum.net, amd http://sourceware.mirrors.tds.net.
Yep, confirmed, the setup.ini file looks malformed. Should be fixed soon.

Cool. Glad to see it wasn't just me then.

This is hopefully fixed now on sourceware. Should propagate to the mirrors soon.

I force updated the mirror that I have and still no go. Now it produces errors for lines 9602 and 9603.
