It turns out that this is due as part of a move on the server that Cygwin
and other Sourceware groups are on. It is being moved to a new datacenter
and hardware. They are in the process of getting various other services
going and it will take several days/weeks until everything is back. At the
moment they only have git available via git: protocol

I think there is a mirror on github of cygwin which you could use at this
time.
