Well, myproblem originated in the fact(?) that sunsite.dk isn't 
available as a mirror anymore and I thought that was a problem with my 
cache, but apparently any mirror site manually added has to be added on 
every setup.exe run. I just thought seup.exe could remember any sites added.

Setup.exe has a problem though. It cannot remember the proxy port and 
always defaults to 80 regardsless. /etc/setup/last-connection contains 
the correct information, though.
