You mean run setup.exe under GDB? Will try it shortly, but:

First, using my browser to get to http://cygwin.com/mirrors.lst, I get
a "not found on this server" error. I think this file might be
elsewhere.
Second, you may be right about network issues. I've had a lot of
problems in the past keeping wget working due to constantly changing
proxies, security, etc. Anyway, right now, wget appears totally
nonfunctional. Here are a couple of lines copied off my Cygwin
terminal:
$ wget -S http://www.tug.org
$
This test and others tell me that wget is getting nothing at all.
Does setup.exe use wget?
