This sounds strange.  Something's not quite right there.  You should be 
getting a new log every time you run.  Try looking around for it.  Maybe
it's not ending up where it's expected.

As far as the setup.[ini|bz2] goes, this still sounds like a networking 
problem to me.  Why don't you try to grab the file yourself through your
browser and see if it's successful.  I'm guessing you'll have the same 
problem.

Hm, this may be part of your problem.  You might want to look at:

How do I uninstall all of Cygwin?
