Wrong kind of URL; that's just the source repository. The setup.ini URL is
ftp://sunsite.dk/projects/cygwinports
and the cygwin-ports homepage is at
http://cygwinports.dotsrc.org/

Yeh, without setup.exe to fetch the dependencies for you a manual install is
not always straightforward for all cygwin packages.

Don't; try setup.exe again with the URL above.
