Looking back at your older posts it seems your
proxy requires a
password. I have no idea
how the configuration script sets up things
for you, but apparently it bypasses the
registry settings that it would
normally
use.

Setup.exe supposedly should
ask for that information via a dialog box
when the proxy indicates it needs it, but it
seems that your proxy just
doesn't
return the required 407 response header. If you could
figure
out (via wget most likely) what the
communication with your proxy looks
like
(with and without password) that might lead to somewhere.
I finally observed wget fail because of authentication, then work when given user, password.
Screen output is below.
Subsequent wgets work without giving password, so there is some caching of authentication,
apparently, at least for wget (and apt-cyg).
Setup is not as lucky, is unable to get setup.ini, and never asks for user, password.
It also only lists the download site I last used.
