All the files necessary to mimic your friend's installation will have been downloaded (as well as being subsequently installed) onto his machine (or hers) and will still reside somewhere in a folder with a long gobbledegookey type name like ftp%3a%2f%2fmirrors.rcn.net%2fmirrors%2fsources.redhat.com%2fcygwin. Unless it was deleted. Renaming this folder if you like (for ease) burn both it and its contents onto a CD together with the file http://cygwin.com/setup.exe, which will not have been downloaded at the time of the original installation unless your friend requested it. Take the CD to your machine. Run setup.exe and choose "Install from Local Directory" (the local directory in this case being {yourdrivename}:\{yourfoldername}). Should work.
