David,
I use Cygwin wget _a lot_ and it works very well and quite reliably.
Almost certainly the problem was either transient or a problem at
Vidhubhushana's end (computer, networking hardware, outside connectivity,
firewall, proxy, cache, ISP, etc.).

Works for me! I'm afraid I'm no networking expert but I suggest you
download the windows native version of wget from
ftp://sunsite.dk/projects/wget/windows/ and see if that works. If that
works and cygwin wget doesn't, that might interest somebody on this list.
If it doesn't work try the wget mailing list (see
http://wget.sunsite.dk/#mailinglists for subscription info)
