Point to the Cygwin mirrors page.
If you choose to install from the Intertubes, you probably want to
choose a nearby mirror site, rather than downloading from halfway across
the world; the list of download sites in setup*.exe's UI gives no
indication of where the mirror sites are, so you could end up picking
one to which you have a slow Internet path. Tell the user about the
list of mirror sites on the Cygwin Web site, as that list *does* give
geographical locations.
