Hey Mike, I had the exact problem... You just have to run the instalation
program and select "Install from Internet", then it's going to ask for some
things, internet connection, etc. and then it's going to give you a list of
things. Select ONLY cygwin(don't-remember-the-exact-name) (note that for
selecting you mustn't use the square box, you click on the version)... you
have to unselect all others... i think then it'll download and install the
thing automatically.
bye
