Brian:
I followed your suggestion, but still had problems.  After some more 
experiments, I figured out that the file names were too long, and 
thus the downloads failed.  Unfortunately, this was not diagnosed by 
"setup", which, in my opinion, should not allow a download to start 
if the file names won't fit in the current Windows.  I assume 
(perhaps incorrectly), that there is a limit to package name length.

For example, I used as the directory
   d:\arch\archiven\cygwin.2.10.0
and the selection of the download site made it
   d:\arch\archiven\cygwin.2.10.0\ftp%3a%2f%2flinux.rz.ruhr-uni-bochum.de%2fcygwin%2f
which is getting pretty long.

Thanks for the download pointer; it helped me isolate the problem.

David
