Setup will not re-download the packages you already have in the cache, even if the mirror is no longer accessible. If you get that problem with all the mirrors, try accessing and from your web browser. If you succeed, try to download the packages again after setting the "Connection" selector to "Use IE5 Settings" in setup.
