No, if you use cygwinports you should use that _in addition_ to a cygwin.com
mirror.

This option is for adding mirror sites not listed in mirrors.lst on
cygwin.com.  There are other options to ignore the mirror list and to 
skip the selection window, but if you're doing a manual installation anyway
setup will remember your last selection.
