If I run
  setup-1.7.exe -s ftp://ftp.heanet.ie
and hit Enter on every screen, I get a messagebox that says:
  Unable to get setup-2.ini from <ftp://ftp.heanet.ie>
Oddly, 'ftp.heanet.ie' is listed twice in "Available Download Sites".
The first 'ftp.heanet.ie' is highlighted, and doesn't work. If I
highlight the second 'ftp.heanet.ie' instead, then it works fine.

Same outcome with:
  setup-1.7.exe -s ftp://ftp.heanet.ie
  setup-1.7.exe -s "ftp://ftp.heanet.ie"
  setup-1.7.exe --site "ftp://ftp.heanet.ie"
  setup-1.7.exe --site="ftp://ftp.heanet.ie"
and also with other mirrors, e.g.:
  setup-1.7.exe -s http://www.mirrorservice.org

This occurs on a brand-new machine with XP SP3 freshly installed, with
no prior installation of any version of Cygwin. I'm running setup-1.7
version 2.661 (current) in an XP "Command Prompt". My ultimate goal is
a '--quiet-mode' installation, but this simplified test case seems to
be the main obstacle.
