While wget is a great utility for mirroring, it's not quite 100% perfect for mirroring for Cygwin Setup without a little "help." That's because of the way Setup devises the name of the directory into which it places the package files it retrieves.
For example, this Cygwin mirror:
http://mirror.mcs.anl.gov/cygwin
yields this directory name in Setup's local package mirror (on one's system):
http%3a%2f%2fmirror.mcs.anl.gov%2fcygwin/
Be sure to manually replicate this naming convention if you mirror with a tool other than Setup itself.
