Nice. But of course, you would only try this if you suspect you're
getting a stale 'setup.exe' from a web cache. On the server side (at
cygwin.com), Apache's 'mod_expires' module could be used to send a
strong hint to HTTP caches to NOT cache 'setup.exe' in the first place.

After ensuring that 'mod_expires' is loaded, the addition to
'httpd.conf' could be as simple as:

<Files "setup.exe">
    ExpiresActive On
    ExpiresDefault "now"
</Files>
