Neither do I (at the moment) :( The first one happens from time to time. For exmaple when some new package is uploaded or updated, but not each time. I guess the one who sees it must debug it immediately. As for the second one I could reproduce it as long as I had my old cache of Cygwin packages, which unfortunately is now lost :(
