From the Wishlist: * mirrors.lst to be copied to setup.ini and cached locally. Then the master mirrors list is reserved for bootstrapping. Secondly if you use the 'IE5 settings' choice in the current setup.exe, setup allows cached data, and will operate *much* faster at retrieving the mirrors.lst and mirror setup.bz2 files (when no changes have occured).
