Another idea: You could download the packages needed for a basic install from any server, e.g.: ftp://ftp-stud.hs-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/ and save them under a new directory (not \cygwin!) while keeping the directory-structure intact. Then run setup and tell it to install from that local directory. Surely not comfortable, but if you succeed you'll have learned something about cygwin :) I once did that on a PC without internet, but then I had my cygwin-download-directory from the other PC on USB.
