* setup.exe -s (--site) option not working

cygwin install, version 2.763
I created a batch file to auto install cygwin with some packages (see below). When I run the batch file from a command prompt, it just outputs "getUrlToStream failed" multiple times before it ends. If I take out the -s option and run the batch file, the gui displays and stops on the page to choose a download site and then the next page goes into the package selection gui. If I quit the gui installer at that point, and then re-run my batch file, the install performs perfectly. My best guess is that it's loading the previously selected download site in one of the generated setup files. Is this a known issue or is there a workaround?
The batch file is here:

The output saved to my setup.log is here:

My GUESS is that setup cannot guess what directory of mirrors.kernel.org
to look in. The links to mirrors on http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html point
to directories, not to the roots of the servers Try
http://mirrors.kernel.org/sourceware/cygwin/
with or without the training slashes, or maybe
http://mirrors.kernel.org/sourceware/
Good luck,

Thank you very much Barry. That was the exact problem. I was using the urls specified by the gui mirror download list. Here's my working batch file in case anybody is curious:
-----------------------------------
setup.exe ^
--disable-buggy-antivirus ^
--quiet-mode ^
--site http://mirrors.kernel.org/sourceware/cygwin/ ^
--packages ^
ruby,^
curl,^
git,^
mingw64-i686-gcc-g++,^
gcc,^
libtool,^
make,^
automake,^
readline,^
libreadline7,^
zlib-devel,^
ncurses,^
vim
-------------------------------------

Perhaps an elaboration of how to specify the URL this should be added to
setup's help and documentation.
