Chrome renames a downloaded file if there is already a downloaded file with
the same name,
e.g. to "setup-x86_64.exe (1)".  When I tried it again now, the filestamp
showed the time it was downloaded.  Unless I see the incorrect timestamp
behavior again, it's easily reproducible and can clearly be attributed to
Cygwin, I think there's nothing to change in Cygwin.

Thanks to all,

Jim
