Things to check might be network settings. How do you connect to the Internet? If you go through ethernet, you might have a duplex mis-match problem. This can lead to stalling file transfers. Also, if you go out over a T1 line, you might be experiencing a line code mismatch, timing problem, or repeater problem. You can test for these using extended pings with the -p option. Run with: -p 00 -p ff -p 40 -p aa -p 11 To test all problematic data patterns. Also, if you do an Alt+F2 while it's installing, do you see any errors or warnings on the screen? It could also be an overwhelmed FTP server. You may also want to try one of the mirrors.
