I think the feature to consult the cached mirror list was added too
recently to have been in the stable version.

So, this means it's a general inability to access any remote site, not
just mirrors.lst. You'll either have to solve that, or do the
downloading as a separate step / on a separate machine. It would be
interesting to see if it's both http and ftp that fail, but I suspect it
is.
