ps, the cygwin website supports last-modified timestamps, as does wget, thus this works much better:
bin\wget.exe --timestamping http://www.cygwin.com/setup-x86_64.exe && start setup-x86_64.exe

  • now the cygwin installer is only updated if there actually is a new version available, and checking the last-modified http header just takes a second.
