Back when I originally posted, I was using ESET NOD32 Antivirus 7 (not
to be confused with ESET Smart Security 7) with cygwin setup-x86
2.850. I used the NOD32 GUI to "temporarily disable protection", but
it did not help.

Now I am using ESET NOD32 Antivirus 8.0.304.0 with cygwin setup-x86
2.852. I just downloaded 61 packages from
http://mirrors.kernel.org/sourceware/cygwin/ without issue, so the
problem is probably resolved for me.

Thanks,
-Mike
