Some mirrors fall really behind on the latest updates.  I used the
following procedure to find the best mirror: after a new cygwin package is
released, I first browsed ftp://cygwin.com/ to find that package (it can't
be downloaded from there), and then looked at the mirrors until I found
one that had the package.  You may want to find two or three and compare
them for speed, though.  I haven't used the mirrors in Asia, but
archive.progeny.com seems to be reasonably quick with their updates
(within a day), and there are others that update even faster.

This has nothing to do with setup.  perl-5.8.0 is marked 'experimental',
and thus not offered as an upgrade unless you select the 'Exp' radio
button.
