There is only one Swedish mirror: ftp.sunet.se. It has a recent version
of setup.ini. Mirrors are not supposed to keep copies of setup.exe and,
in fact, I don't see one at that site.

What's puzzling about that? That is setup.exe doing you the favor of
telling you that the mirror is out of date.

No, of course not. It does sound like possibly you haven't downloaded
the most recent version of setup.exe from http://cygwin.com/ though.
Btw, the empty mirrors list would undoubtedly be some kind of network
problem. setup.exe does a simple http retrieval to download the mirror
list.
