Dave,

Which browser do you use?  Do you use proxies?  Anonymizer sites?  Please
provide more details about your network setup...

On a different note (a general question to the list), any reason why
setup.exe isn't mirrored?  Can the setup executable (with a versioned
name) be placed in the Cygwin package root directory (i.e., where
setup.bz2/setup.ini usually goes)?
	Igor
