installing cygwin-xfree

[Seth Rothenberg]

Greetings.
I downloaded Cygwin today,
and downloaded all the required files mentioned on
the Downloading Cygwin/XFree86 page, and then
tried to install cygwin/xf86, and I received messages
indicating that extract.exe is bad.
(I got one error:
Procedure entrypoint mkdid could not be located in DLL cygwin1.dll)

I tried downloading the extract_exe.bz2 several times,
and I did not get any errors when using bunzip2 to uncompress it.

I would appreciate any suggestions, as I think this project
is a great idea.
Thanks
Seth
PS I also would like to know how to join this list.
