Yes, relying on 'setup.exe' to download you everything you need from
a machine that already has Cygwin installed is not a recipe for
success.  'setup.exe' is not a mirroring tool.  It will only download
packages selected that need to be updated or that aren't installed,
based on the mirrors selected.  If you've chosen more than 1 mirror
and/or have Cygwin packages installed on the machine you're doing the
downloading with, you're limiting the packages that will be downloaded
from any mirror.  If you want to make sure you get a full set of
packages from any mirror, use a mirroring tool like 'wget' or 'curl'.
You'll have better success.
