Is it my setup or the mirror page that is wrong as to the current status of a mirror

My install of setup on my Windows XP laptop always looks to the mirror
sourceware.mirrors.tds.net (ftp) and ftp.gtlib.gatech.edu(ftp) for its
updates and the web page http://www.cygwin.com/mirrors.html shows these
mirror current as of 2008-08-29 13:48GMT and yet if I run a setup
version compiled from cvs in July 2007 or a setup I compiled on
8/21/2008 from cvs it always tells me that the site
sourceware.mirrors.tds.net (ftp) is not current. I also just
downloaded the version at cygwin.com and it also says that site is not
current. Weird thing is this machine (Windows XP) also uses the gatech
site as I mentioned and I don't get warned about it but.... On another
machine (Windows 2000) which only uses the gatech site
ftp.gtlib.gatech.edu(ftp) I do get warned about gatech.
I seem to recall something about the mirror logic changing but I'm
sure. Anyone else noticed anything.
