After some more experiments, I figured out that the file names were too long, and thus the downloads failed. Unfortunately, this was not diagnosed by "setup", which, in my opinion, should not allow a download to start if the file names won't fit in the current Windows. I assume (perhaps incorrectly), that there is a limit to package name length. For example, I used as the directory d:\arch\archiven\cygwin.2.10.0 and the selection of the download site made it d:\arch\archiven\cygwin.2.10.0\ftp%3a%2f%2flinux.rz.ruhr-uni-bochum.de%2fcygwin%2f which is getting pretty long. Thanks for the download pointer; it helped me isolate the problem.
