It should come up with a substantial list of Download site (mirrors). Are you saying the list is empty, or that you can't connect to any of them? You can't add a mirror to the list directly (that list of mirrors is centrally maintained), but as I recall you can invoke setup with some argument to direct it elsewhere. But my guess is that is not what you should be doing. If setup can't connect to any of the sutes I wonder about whether you've got some firewall interfering. Note also that the setup program is a tool for downloading and installing Cygwin packages. Cygwin is not a single "thing". And we don't recommend installing _all_ the packages. Just get what you need to get started and add things as you find more need.
