You have to change every single package you want to download from skip to the version you want. It is a known "bug" in the current installer - but it's also a step toward a much better setup.exe so stay tuned. Btw - you can fetch setup.exe sources from the the cygwin CVS repository or take a snapshot and try to compile it for yourself. However, note that setup.exe built from sources is not supported.
Btw there were a lot of discussions on this list about this problem so you could easily find the solution by just checking the mailing list archive.
