More importantly - those not under mirrors are here:

	https://cygwin.com/mirrors-report.html

- sargasso.net had a recent cert problem for 35 hours
- it has been renewed recently
- temporary network and cert issues are often quickly cleared up
- it's helpful to contact the mirror site and let them know there's an issue, in 
case they haven't noticed there's an issue with the mirror because it uses a 
different cert, or is on an isolated server, subnet, or VLAN.
