If you don't select different mirrors, then setup.exe will know what it has already downloaded successfully (by consulting the cache it keeps under the download directory you told it) and will not download these packages again unless they have been updated in the interim. Sorry, I don't know what "the GRASS SIG" is so I can't provide any info relative to that. Keep in mind, unless the package you're looking for comes from one of the mirror sites listed at cygwin.com/mirrors.html, they aren't supported by this list. You should send any specific questions or issues you have with unsupported packages to the owners of those packages. As for installing packages that are on the mirrors listed, you don't need to select any packages manually to get the basic set that will just work.
