I think that "403 forbidden" means that this request is prohibited by 
the configuration of the proxy, so really you need to contact whoever 
administers it.

Since curl/wget works to fetch the same URLs through that proxy, it 
might be that the user-agent is disallowed, possibly you could test this 
by attempting trying with --user-agent="Cygwin Setup"?
