Thanks for the quick response! My answers are below next to the questions.
Where are you geographically located, which mirror(s) have you selected, and
which ISP or network provider are you using?
Mike: Waltham, MA and I am using the mirror at Clarkson... But I tried a
number of other mirrors chosen randomly and it failed with each one.
Are you using a desktop workstation from inside an org's network, and/or do you
have an antivirus package installed and active?
Mike: I am using a windows laptop on Boston Scientific's corporate network....
I also tried using my cell phone as a hot spot (android T-mobile)
They or it could be blocking or corrupting your downloads unless bypassed, as
most archives contain DLLs and/or exes.
Mike: CrowdStrike Falcon Sensor; However, it allowed many other packages to
be downloaded including the Cygwin shell and vi, both of which work fine.
To which paths are you downloading the archives, where are you installing the
contents, and are both on a local drive in your desktop?
Mike: BSci IT sets up the laptop with user specific files on OneDrive
First try the base system install, let everything run to completion, then start
the Cygwin terminal from the desktop shortcut.
Mike: After repeated failures I let it run to completion ignoring the errors...
(that's how I tried cmake)
Check the contents of /var/log/setup.log.full for any errors and attach as text
to a text post here.
Mike: Ah... Each of the packages that fail to download have this error:
get_url_to_file

Thanks Mike,
Are all the failed downloads .tar.zst?
This could be a web proxy rule blocking unknown tar suffixes.
Are you running 11 24h2 and could this be your issue?

Sounds like you need to work with your corp IT to deal with this.
