We mirror via rsync from sources.redhat.com::cygwin-ftp , and our system tells me that there haven't been any problems syncing. I'm not familiar with the structure of the cygwin repository, but a quick visual compare between http://mirror.mcs.anl.gov/ and http://mirrors.dotsrc.org shows no differences. So I'm kind of at a loss as to where to look for the problem.
