The proxy admins have no interest in helping with this. :)

My point was more that your administrator has configured things to prevent what you are trying to do (however foolish trying to control access by user-agent might be)


Indeed, user-agent of Cygwin Setup is a problem:

$ wget --user-agent="Cygwin Setup" https://cygwin.com/setup/setup-2.878.x86_64.exe

Does it work if you try user agent combos of
{Cygwin-Setup,CygwinSetup}/{2.878-3,2.878}?


You might also try with no user-agent (wget --user-agent="" apparently)
