error parsing setup.bz2 in setup.exe

At 8:30am PST, setup worked fine. Then at 8:50am PST, the following error 
occured, and has been occuring ever since:

Cygwin's setup.exe (using a copy downloaded 1/4/2005, 9:20am) fails to load 
the setup file. After selecting a mirror, it downloads the setup.bz2 file, 
and upon reading it encounters an error. Message box pops up with: "(null) 
line 10196: syntax error, unexpected $undefined, expecting STRING."

I tried this with a dozen different mirrors, as well as on two other 
computers, with no success. Any ideas?

thanks,
-Eric
