Ok, I was wrong -- setup didn't print the filenames to the log, period.
The version I'm going to ask you to try, however, does.  Please post the
resulting log file in the same web location (and thanks for being
considerate).

Ok, here goes.  Please use the setup at
<http://cs.nyu.edu/~pechtcha/cygwin/setup-2.513-alpha.exe>.  This version
contains a fix for the FTP problem, so ftp mirrors should work too.
Please switch to the "Partial" view this time, to find out exactly what's
going to be installed.  The log should tell us exactly which files it
tries to open.
