Just convince someone to snail mail you a CDROM burn. The install from local directory feature of setup.exe works as expected. I always keep a CDROM with a Cygwin download as part of my backup strategy... I would offer to send a copy of that, but I did not download the source packages onto a CDROM, so I would be violating the GPL should you then turn around and ask for those next... If of interest, I could prepare a complete CDROM set with source and binaries for installation when I get some free time on my hands.
