John,

First, try selecting a different mirror.  Setup will not re-download the
packages you already have in the cache, even if the mirror is no longer
accessible.

If you get that problem with all the mirrors, try accessing
<http://cygwin.com/mirrors.txt> and
<http://mirrors.kernel.org/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/setup.ini> from your
web browser.  If you succeed, try to download the packages again after
setting the "Connection" selector to "Use IE5 Settings" in setup.
	Igor
