Your mail should have gone to the Cygwin mailing list.  Please send any 
followups there.

Are you running setup-x86.exe from the Cygwin website?  It should ask 
you to choose a mirror very early in the process, not after you've 
selected packages.

At what point does the installation get stuck?  Is it during the 
download?  And what's the exact error message that you get?

By the way, I don't think your problem has anything to do with TeX Live, 
except that the packages you're trying to install are moderately large. 
  Do you generally have problems downloading large files?

Ken
