A one line solution is to use curl (using v. 7.20.1 in my case)
itself, saving the files under "img-NUMBER.tif":

curl http://www.new.dli.ernet.in/data/upload/0048/903/PTIFF/[00000001-397].tif -o img-#1.tif

or, to see that the padding of the leading zeros works:

curl http://www.new.dli.ernet.in/data/upload/0048/903/PTIFF/[00000099-101].tif -o img-#1.tif

I'm not sure if curl is included in cygwin, though.
