I was installing Xubuntu (current version as of today) on a virtual machine and the bug popped up several more times. The install was different from the original that generated this bug report (real machine, mainly default install) in that the VM installs were on an 'Expert Install' (F6 during install) with some modifications for speed (nothing drastic). The VM "hardware" is significantly different from the bare metal (1st bug report). Internet connection was good throughout, and is wired (not wireless).
In general, if the download failed once it did it several more times, always within the first 10 or so download lines. Once it was running it stayed running for several hours. I took an install break for a few hours and it crashed on the next VM, but then ran fine on the rest (more duplicate reports not filed). So it seems to be an ongoing problem, and only with this package. (Other packages, from small ones up to ~60 MB with 30 MB individual downloads (Java VM) install w/o any problem or network hiccup.)
