William,

Huh?  Explain that one... no wait I'll spare us all: don't explain that one.

Then try downloading again.  Select a different mirror site this time and 
make sure that you have the latest setup.exe: http://cygwin.com/setup.exe

What?!?  Security issues?!?

If you need Cygwin on a CD I'll be glad to sell the service of creating one 
for you for $300.  Cash or check.  No COD.

It sure does solve the problem.  Choose the "Download from Internet" option 
on the second screen of setup.  Set the package directory to a temporary 
directory that contains setup.exe, then burn that directory to a CD.  Problem 
solved.
