There's also _no way_ in the future that you will be able to do this. It simply does not make sense when you have packages that conflict with each other. If you want to mirror cygwin's install files, use a mirroring tool. Many exist for both win32 and un*x. Setup is not such a tool, although it does have *limited* mirroring capability. If you use setup.exe it will download the most recent stable version of everything you have installed as it's default behaviour. There are changes in the works to make a happy middle ground the default, but we're not there yet.
