Thank you for your suggestions and reminder regarding the BLODA FAQ.  
Although I have not yet resolved the
original issue, it appears that the problem is exhibited only when 
reading/writing to my internal disk array (simple
RAID1) but works flawlessly with external devices (USB flash or hard 
drives).  Otherwise, my system is extremely
stable and all array and disk diagnostics pass.  And, since the download 
used to complete error-free when storing
to my array, I suspect that it is due to some BIOS or driver update I 
had applied over time; but I have not had the
time to devote backing them out to determine which one.  I will endeavor 
to isolate the cause at some point.

Therefore, it is my assertion that this is *not* a cygwin setup.exe 
issue after all.  I wrote back to the list simply to
close the loop and to thank you for your time.

Again, thank you,
Ken
