I tried to use wget. Here's the result:

So, I re-ran setup-x86_64.exe, wondering if something had not been properly
installed before. I got the following:
Package: _/Unknown package
gtk3.sh exit code 127
I re-ran the setup more than once, always the same result.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
That appears to be the least of your problems.
You appear to have installed far too many Cygwin packages, possibly all, or at
least as many as worked, before failures prevented further attempts?
As a result, your attachments exceed allowed sizes, so your email did not make
it onto the list, or into the list archives.
Many packages appear not to be installed properly, and a number appear to be
empty, as the contents have not been installed.
Such installations are unlikely to work because of components missing due to
installation failures, address space conflicts between installed components,
and Cygwin Setup failure to complete all installation processes without errors.
Please try creating a new Cygwin base installation on your system, with only
default packages, and allow all Cygwin Setup postinstall processes to complete
properly, with no c:/...cygwin.../bin/ processes running, and no errors
showing in /var/log/setup.log.full.
Then rerun Cygwin Setup to add a reasonable number of packages, and allow all
Cygwin Setup postinstall processes to complete properly, with no
c:/...cygwin.../bin/ processes running, and no errors showing in /var/log/
setup.log.full.
When your `cygcheck -hrsv` shows no Incomplete packages or Missing files, your
installation is setup properly and should be working with no problems.
Otherwise wipe and repeat until successfull.

Glad that works now.

Install xinit to get X.org server and base X clients, and add any other X client
apps you want to have available.
