There is a way of grabbing things directly off cygwin.com via rsync
(essentially creating a local mirror). Googling for "rsync download
site:cygwin.com" brings up a few recipes for doing this. I believe the
information that Cygwin supports rsync, but not ftp or http downloads used
to be somewhere on the Cygwin.com FTP site, but it isn't any longer...

P.S. Incidentally, there's a typo in the Cygwin.com FTP welcome message
(it says "sourcware").
