This is because setup.exe is not a mirroring tool, and 'getting
everything' is a mirroring exercise. Setup is designed to only download
the gap - the pacakges that are not available in the local cache but are
needed to perform your requested actions. You may find that clicking on
the top level 'default' comes close, or even does what you want though.
YMMV.
