Why are you asking here?  If you are using instructions found at
octave.org, then ask them why they don't work.

If you use instructions/setup.exe from cygwin.com and things don't go as
planned, please post again.

My WAG is that you had two different mirrors selected the first time, and
only the octave one on the second try?
