When I remember (which is about 25% of the time), I try to do all of my
downloads in /sourceware/ftp/anonftp/pub/cygwin/stage and then move
things over from there, to minimize the time when upset might be upset.

I haven't tried it but you might be able to do something like

  cd /sourceware/ftp/anonftp/pub/cygwin/stage; mkdir readline

  # copy stuff into readline hierarchy

  cp --link -a readline ../release; rm -r readline

to deal with complicated hierarchies.
