Obviously, that is something what was supposed to happen at some point. In previous releases cygwin.exe installer was always included, because we were releasing only bundled installer. Now we have online one, which downloads bits from URL's that supposed to be sable and produce always the same bits. To deal with possible changes we have redirects configured on developers.redhat.com instead of dealing with direct links. So in case something is changed we can redirect installer to new location. That works for Vagrant and Virtualbox, because they keep previous releases available online. This though not the case for cygwin.exe installer. We have redirect for it, but now it is changed and there is no previous version available at official web site.

Possible solutions:
1. Host it at RH (requires consultation with legal dep if we can host and redistribute it);
2. Always include sygwin.exe in offline and online installer, which increases installer +1M and already approved  by legal dep.

I think option 2 is the way to go.
