This happened again
https://ci.appveyor.com/project/OpenSmalltalk/vm/build/1.0.1212/job/jtau0f796r5xd06u
and will happen again and again...

I am trying to replace
'Start-FileDownload "http://cygwin.com/setup-x86.exe" -FileName
"setup-x86.exe"'
in https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/blob/Cog/.appveyor.yml

with curl, so as to at least manage the timeout and retry options:
See
https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/commit/aaaa4b1e8c1fb5448ea45856479cc51c60324b26
