The three I usually use are:

sunsite.utk.edu (usually ~60ms)
freesoftware.com (60ms)
yggdrasil.com (400ms 4% packet rtx)

utk is down or something... could eventually get the setup.ini,
but no files....

freesoftware.com gave me these:
Downloaded latest/ash/ash-20001012.tar.gz
Downloaded latest/bash/bash-2.04-3.tar.gz
Downloaded latest/gcc/gcc-2.95.2-3.tar.gz

note that opengl failed mysteriously....

yggdrasil.com then offered up these:

Downloaded contrib/cvs/cvs-1.11.0-1.tar.gz
Downloaded latest/cygwin/cygwin-1.1.5-1.tar.gz

Downloaded contrib/zlib/zlib-1.1.3-5.tar.gz

going back to freesoftware results in a warning that setup.ini
is older than the one I used last. And it may very well be that
if I had started with yggdrasil it could have been one stop shopping,
but to get there from here means traversing three different backbones,
and the one in the middle is above.net (aka UUNet) so packet loss
is higher than it should be. :{

so basically your and Corinna's changes have made it to freesoftware,
but Charles' have made it to yggdrasil. In both cases I did my usual
pattern of stepping through each package listed and selecting the
most current one. (oh, I do download from internet, and install from
local directory as two steps because I'm updating several machines)

This is another one of the joys of having a loose network of mirrors
instead of a rigid hierarchy.
