I'm not sure what happened to your file, but I just performed the
following two commands:

 wget -c https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/cygwin-ug-net-nochunks.html.gz
 unzip cygwin-ug-net-nochunks.html.gz

and was left with a "cygwin-ug-net-nochunks.html" file in the
directory that I could browse with any of multiple browsers.
