Poor kid :-) I can imagine how frustrating this is to you. But a google 
search on "wget cygwin permission denied" seems to show that you are 
not alone, and this seems to be a common problem under Cygwin. 

OT: now that you use windoze, I think you might try "flash get" download 
manager. My windoze buddies seem to like it very much. When I used 
windows, I used to use get right.

On GNU/Linux, I only use "axel". 

cheers
