Where are you geographically located, which mirror(s) have you selected, and 
which ISP or network provider are you using?

Are you using a desktop workstation from inside an org's network, and/or do you 
have an antivirus package installed and active?

They or it could be blocking or corrupting your downloads unless bypassed, as 
most archives contain DLLs and/or exes.

To which paths are you downloading the archives, where are you installing the 
contents, and are both on a local drive in your desktop?

First try the base system install, let everything run to completion, then start 
the Cygwin terminal from the dekstop shortcut.

Check the contents of /var/log/setup.log.full for any errors and attach as text 
to a text post here.
