Have you tried to download setup.ini manually?

Are you able to access for example:

ftp://ftp-stud.hs-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/x86/setup.ini

or any other mirror using a browser or wget? Maybe setup is blocked by  
something, maybe you can see it in the taskmanager.

Have you tried apt-cyg? That seems to do a better job than setup anyway,  
at least at uninstalling things (different issue), but needs a base-cygwin  
;)
