I think that "403
forbidden" means that this request is prohibited by
the configuration of the proxy, so really you
need to contact whoever
administers it.
Since curl/wget works to fetch
the same URLs through that proxy, it
might
be that the user-agent is disallowed, possibly you could
test this
by attempting trying with
--user-agent="Cygwin Setup"?

The proxy admins have no interest in helping with this. :)
Indeed, user-agent of Cygwin Setup is a problem:
