This list has recovered a bit but is still very sparse. It is probably just a coincidence, but my usual mirror, <ftp://mirror.mcs.anl.gov/pub/cygwin/>, has disappeared, not just from <http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html>, but when accessed directly with Firefox, not setup. Usually it is very reliable. I doubt that there's anything that you can do, but I wonder if anl.gov cannot find something that it is looking for at the cygwin/sourceware end and that that has contributed to this problem at anl.gov and at least some of the other mirrors.
