Why package cache is not used during setup download?

[Aleksey Midenkov]

Cygwin setup process my turn to endless retry-error on bad internet
channels, because:

1. setup doesn't know how to retry download (why it fails to download anyway?);
2. setup doesn't use cache of previously downloaded files and always
redownload all packages from the beginning.

How possible I may overcome this situation?
