"setup-x86_64.exe" blocked by Proxy/Firewall to 3MB packages

Hello.

We have a Proxy/AV/Firewall which blocks internet downloads to max 3MB size,
then they truncate the file.

So, for example, downloading VIM-COMMON package, which sizes about 6MB, the
xz is truncated to 3MB and the installation fails, obviously.

Is there, actually, a method to bypass this issue?
Will there be some tricks, in next package distribuition, to bypass this
issue/limitation?

 

I know it's a difficult things!!!

The only way is to download the package(s) from another client/server and
copy files in the Cygwin installation path.

 

Thanks.
