Although I have not yet resolved the original issue, it appears that the problem is exhibited only when reading/writing to my internal disk array (simple RAID1) but works flawlessly with external devices (USB flash or hard drives). Otherwise, my system is extremely stable and all array and disk diagnostics pass. And, since the download used to complete error-free when storing to my array, I suspect that it is due to some BIOS or driver update I had applied over time; but I have not had the time to devote backing them out to determine which one. I will endeavor to isolate the cause at some point. Therefore, it is my assertion that this is *not* a cygwin setup.exe issue after all. I wrote back to the list simply to close the loop and to thank you for your time.
