Look in /var/log/setup.log.full and /var/log/setup.log for clues. Also,
the "download incomplete" message results from a size inconsistency
between setup.ini (setup.bz2) and the actual package file, so check the
setup.ini on your mirror.

Before you do that, if you "Use IE5 Settings" in setup, turn off caching
in IE (or, rather, make it check the cached version every time you access
a file -- note: this is *not* the default!).

Also, read about the "upset" script if you want to have packages on your
local server in addition to the mirrored ones. Google for "upset script
site:cygwin.com".
