You mean run setup.exe under GDB?  Will try it shortly, but:

First, using my browser to get to http://cygwin.com/mirrors.lst, I get
a "not found on this server" error.  I think this file might be
elsewhere.

Second, you may be right about network issues.  I've had a lot of
problems in the past keeping wget working due to constantly changing
proxies, security, etc.  Anyway, right now, wget appears totally
nonfunctional.  Here are a couple of lines copied off my Cygwin
terminal:

$ wget -S http://www.tug.org
$

This test and others tell me that wget is getting nothing at all.
Does setup.exe use wget?
