If I'm understanding the other posts correctly this issue stems from the 
fact that there are a number of packages in the setup.ini (that is read 
by setup.exe) files on all the mirrors that are missing required:

version:
install:

... lines. vim (grep for '@ vim') is a good example. Before everyone 
pounds this poor mirror to death hoping for a solution by doing fresh 
installs you can see by looking at:

ftp://cygwin.osuosl.org/pub/cygwin/setup.ini

... that the problem is still in effect there.

You can check this file on a mirror by adding '/pub/cygwin/setup.ini' to 
the mirror URL). Presumably there is no point burning the servers 
bandwidth doing futile downloads if you still see the same issue present.

Cheers,
