You don't. This is in the list archives at least 10 times within the
last week.
There's also _no way_ in the future that you will be able to do this. It
simply does not make sense when you have packages that conflict with
each other.
If you want to mirror cygwin's install files, use a mirroring tool. Many
exist for both win32 and un*x. Setup is not such a tool, although it
does have *limited* mirroring capability.
If you use setup.exe it will download the most recent stable version of
everything you have installed as it's default behaviour.
There are changes in the works to make a happy middle ground the
default, but we're not there yet.
