Greetings, Nellis, Kenneth!

Do not use wget -O name unless you have no other choice.
The construction is essentially equal to

wget -O - --quiet http://cygwin.com/$name > "$name"

Means, it will never allow -N to work. (When -O given, -N is silently
discarded.)

Not confirming, my installation went smooth, I barely noticed the setup
update. (Yes, I'm running it via script too.)
