At a guess, you're seeing the problem I addressed in CVS recently. It's
not that the setup you're using doesn't reconnect after an error, it's
that it won't reconnect to a timed-out FTP server, period.
Please try the setup snapshot at
<http://cs.nyu.edu/~pechtcha/cygwin/setup-2.513-1-alpha.exe>, and post
back with results.
HTH,
Igor
