This indicates that (setup thinks that) the timestamp in the retrieved setup.ini file has gone backwards.

There haven't really been any setup changes in the relevant area. The only thing I can think of is that it's possible that your mirror URL might have been upgraded from http to https, which might effect how any proxy you are behind is working. Some old setup versions are available at [1], if you want to downgrade. [1] https://cygwin.com/setup/
