Umeå, Sweden, Europe is correct.

$ host -t loc ftp.acc.umu.se
ftp.acc.umu.se location 63 49 17.000 N 20 18 20.000 E 50.00m 1m 30m 10m

This IP segment was previously used by ftp.sunet.se located in 
Uppsala, which is close to Stockholm but not quite. It's now used to 
provide our dedicated network capacity for the file archive.

We're working together with SUNET to get everything we can control 
updated. Which particular service told you the IP is located in 
Stockholm?

Routing-wise Stockholm isn't that wrong however, since it's the 
location where most peering in Sweden happen...
