this means: if you use above software to download the package, the
package may get broken during transfer. But below error sounds like
a different problem.

Please try

ls -l grass5.0.0pre2_i686-pc-cygwin_bin.tar.gz
ls -l grass5install.sh
#both files present here?
#If yes:
sh -x ./grass5install.sh grass5.0.0pre2_i686-pc-cygwin_bin.tar.gz

this should be more chatty and tell you something about the problem.
Let us know... (copy-paste)

 Cheers
