When you download into the "completely empty" directory, I think.  I
know that used to be the rule but not, I guess, any more.

On my machine the setup leaves all those tar.gz files in a tree
beginning where it (setup) resides.  I have, e.g.
"E:/Cygwin_install/latest" and "./contrib" branches.  Perhaps you've
lost something.

Or, perhaps, I didn't clean up something I should have!
