I don't think this is a setup issue either.
It sounds like the download failed at one point, and has been cached 
somewhere between you and the server. Ergo it's now failing due to being 
incomplete on your machine and on the cache.
You could /try/ wget-ing the appropriate .tar.gz manually and placing it 
in your local repository - setup should check the md5sum (or whichever 
thing it actually checks) and then move on to the next file.

Anyway, I believe cygwinports has its own list (Yaakov?) - imo this 
discussion should probably be there..
