/var/log/setup.log.full is pretty much it.  However, setup is not really
doing anything very sophisticated -- it tries to retrieve
http://cygwin.com/mirrors.lst using the connection method specified.  The
errors indicate that it was unable to connect.

Trying another mirror doesn't help because setup cannot even retrieve the
mirror list from cygwin.com.

Can you retrieve the contents of the above URL using your browser (IE, in
particular)?  If not, first get that to work, and then try setup again.
If you can, then there may be a problem with setup, since I see that
you're using IE5 settings to connect.  Another option is to try "Direct
connection".
