I found only a CgyWin Installer to download.
I prefer to put CygWin on an USB flash drive and run it on various
computers without leaving installation traces.
Is there really no portable version to download?
correct. No one should install all the files
What if I install it once one computer and copy all the files to my
USB flash drive?
Are there any disadvantages?
The file permissions will be not correct.
Actually, if you format your USB stick to NTFS, this should work. I
remember to have had a mobile cygwin stick around a while ago.
What you can do is use the USB stick as location for the cache download
and install from the USB on the other computers.
