Since you just installed Cygwin and didn't configure it much, have you
considered just uninstalling and reinstalling from a new mirror?

The mirror checking software runs four times a day to weed out bad mirrors. It's very unlikely that a new installation would have problems that were due to a mirror.

The original problem report mentioned it hanging during the download or install, I forget which. I wondered whether it might have been some odd networking problem with that particular mirror. (I've had odd networking problems in the past, even in Linux.) It's also an obvious fix technique, if it works, but he later said it didn't.
