On my last download, a few days ago, when the initial server became
unresponsive, the setup process simply hung up even though I had
selected several alternate servers. After waiting a while, I terminated
and restarted the process but again the process hung up. I had to
remove the offending server from the selected list to get the download
to proceed. However, when I did so, it downloaded a lot of duplicates
of files already downloaded from the failed server.
This is not what I expected on the basis of past experience, but the
installation instructions simply state: "You can select multiple mirrors
by holding down CTRL and clicking on each one." with no explanation of
the expected consequences.
I asked for an explanation but have gotten no response:
