setup.exe -s site option not working for me

I appreciate the response and the provided script, but
the question remains whether I am doing something wrong
(and what!) or if setup.exe just isn't working as
expected (bug?).

Specifically, in the Target field of my shortcut's
properties, I have:

C:\Users\knellis\Installers\Cygwin\setup-x86_64.exe -d -N -s "http://mirror.cs.vt.edu/"

And, I've tried with and without the trailing slash
in the URL. No matter, it complains with:

Unable to get setup.ini from <http://mirror.cs.vt.edu/>
