Install problem

After years of successful Cygwin installs/updates both at home and work I
moved yesterday to a new workplace and got just this message on attempting a
new installation on the office-supplied LAN zero-privilege* God-knows-what
machine. I changed from "Direct connection" to "Use IE5 settings" at the
appropriate point during setup, and everything went smoothly thereafter.
 
(* I can't even format my own USB memory stick.)
