Try:

  1. Delete your previous installation directories

  2. During your initial installation, don't select
     additional packages beyond those that are
     installed by default, that is, install the
     smallest number of packages possible to get
     a working Cygwin environment.

  3. Add additional packages one at a time to 
     increase the likelihood that you will
     successfully download and install each
     package before your connection breaks.

It's possible to download by ftp the individual
packages that are downloaded as a group by setup.exe,
and then install them one-by-one, but this should
only be used as a last resort.
