My organisation forbids the use of IE. The corporate web browser is Firefox.

I just performed this simple test :
1. clear the IE disk cache
2. use Setup.exe in order to update cygwin through the "IE proxy settings"
3. look at the temporary Internet files and the cygwin downloaded packages directory

You will see your "tar.xz" packages in both files trees.
