It appears that you did not read Chris Faylor's post carefully. He showed
you how to do what you want.
However, I think his answer can be improved on.
wget -r -N -nH -np http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/cygwin-ug-net.html
-N don't retrieve files if older than local. (No big deal?)
-nH don't create host directories (eliminates cygwin.com directory)
-np don't ascend to the parent directory (eliminates various unwanted files)
