Noticed this too. Problem is that setup is the only(?) package
in setup.ini with only source and no binary (for obvious reasons).
The setup entry in setup.ini:
----------------------------
@ setup
sdesc: "The Cygwin Net Distribution installer and updater program."
category: System Net Utils
version: 2.218.2.9-1
source: release/setup/setup-2.218.2.9-1-src.tar.bz2 659936 9a2b1ee9d1d97208578b9535bb6018ec
----------------------------
Note: no install: line.
So Setup.exe still tries to download/install the binary which is not there,
hence the Download Incomplete messages.
Setup needs to accept that there are source only packages.
I guess Robert is already aware of this.

P.S. Why is the contents of setup-2.218.2.9-1-src.tar.bz2 only an other
tar.bz2 file ? Why not rename the original tar.bz2 file, would save
a few bytes.
