Couple more suggestions to try to see if they can get thru the proxy:

$ curl -J|-O [--user-agent ...] https://cygwin.com/setup-x86_64.exe
$ lynx -source [-useragent ...] https://cygwin.com/setup-x86_64.exe >
setup-x86_64.exe

which might give developers hints how setup could be changed to work.

From testing curl uses minimal extra headers, wget a few, and lynx
TUI most like GUI products:

User-Agent:	curl/7.54.0  Wget/1.19.1 (cygwin)  Lynx/2.8.7rel.1
libwww-FM/2.14 SSL-MM/1.4.1 OpenSSL/1.0.2k
Accept:		*/*	     */*		   text/html, text/plain, text/css, text/sgml,
*/*;q=0.01
Accept-Encoding:	     identity		   gzip, bzip2
Connection:		     Keep-Alive
Accept-Language:				   en

I don't use emacs or I would have tested it, so perhaps someone
who lives in it could; I find vim's "browser" less than useful,
although I can otherwise live in it, as others can with emacs:
so many scripts and plugins, so little time to try them and
tweak them.
