I tried setup-5.77 from www.cygwin.com/setup/snapshots and it aborted 
consistently. Each time it generated the Microsoft error box (Do you want to 
send the details to Microsoft?) at the same place, just after selecting a 
download site and apparently starting to download. I tried it with multiple 
download sites and all failed. One particular site that failed was 
http://mirror.mcs.anl.gov
