I noticed there were a couple of mirrors missing from that list on the
Swiki, so I updated it.

(The wuarchive mirror is usually very reliable, for example.)

Hmm, when I try to update my 3.2alpha image, it says there are no new
updates on www.squeaklet.com/updates/external/, which I believe is the
current update server.  So, I don't think it should be checking uiuc.

I remember now that the default update server changed awhile ago
(sometime during 3.1alpha), which required a small change to the image. 
I don't remember how to do it, but there was a post to the list about it
at the time... you could search the mail archives for squeaklet.com and
you'd probably find it.  (Or, it might be easier to just download a new
image. :-) )
