Why package cache is not used during setup download?

[Andrey Repin]

Greetings, Aleksey Midenkov!

> Cygwin setup process my turn to endless retry-error on bad internet

> 1. setup doesn't know how to retry download (why it fails to download anyway?);

Because your internet is bad?

> 2. setup doesn't use cache of previously downloaded files and always

It do use cache, if checksum is correct.

> How possible I may overcome this situation?

Fix your internet, or download packages where it is better.
If you want partial download support in setup - patches are welcome, I'm sure.
