I'm not sure where you got the advice to manually add the proxy during installation, though it 'should' work. I expect it would work better if you did that step *after* the installer asks the proxy question. I use:- <snipped start of preseed.cfg> # Network setup d-i netcfg/disable_autoconfig boolean true # see http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2012/10/msg00054.html d-i netcfg/target_network_config select ifupdown d-i netcfg/choose_interface select eth0 d-i netcfg/get_hostname string preseed d-i netcfg/get_domain string dev # Static network configuration. d-i netcfg/get_nameservers string 8.8.8.8 d-i netcfg/get_ipaddress string 192.168.0.56 d-i netcfg/get_netmask string 255.255.255.0 d-i netcfg/get_gateway string 192.168.0.6 <snipped middle of preseed.cfg> ### Mirror settings d-i mirror/country string enter information manually d-i mirror/http/hostname string http.us.debian.org d-i mirror/http/directory string /debian d-i mirror/http/proxy string http://192.168.0.2:3142 <snipped rest of preseed.cfg> > > Next I go back to the miror page, select any mirror on the installer and > then > leave the proxy blank.

That will happen if the packages have not been previously installed through apt-cacher-ng Check your hit/miss ratio at:- http://whateverYourAptCacherNgAdressIs:3142/acng-report.html > > Thanks for your time and and effort.
