Arnuld,
I myself am brand new to GNU, so I know nothing regarding your issue.
That said, if you go to,
http://lists.debian.org/debian-hurd/2007/06/threads.html
and scroll down towards the bottom of the page you will find some of my
posts. In them I posted that I had tryed several different methods of
installing GNU. All to no avail (you might see some similar issues as
you are having). I believe that I had a hardware issue, because I
switched to another computer with a newer hard drive and I was able to
get GNU installed via Debian's crosshurd.
I understand that you have a restrictive Internet accuses, but just last
night (09 July 07) I was able to go from formating a new hard drive to
logging in as root in 'bout 30 minutes. Very little of that time was I
truly on line. Something to consider.
Cheers
Teague

any idea gentlemen ?
HECK, i had to hard-boot, HURD could not reboot. at next reboot, i
entered into single-user mode and did this:
# export TERM=mach
# ./native-install
and i see for the 1st time it asked me about Timezone. i entered (5)
for Asia and then it said, press Enter to see all timezones (within
Asia), i did and get "broken pipe" message :-(
anyway, i entered "Calcutta" as i am in IST (GMT + 5.5). then it did
usual configuration kind of things, same it did before asking me for
Timezone. then it *hung* up at this point:
"packages marked [*] produce lot of output: use 'less' or 'more' !
and then i *hung-in* there forever. cursor was blinking but nothing
else. as i wa sin single-user mode "C-c" did not work. i had to
hard-boot :-(
now when i boot into HURD, whether single-user or not, it reboots
automatically :-(. i do not understand this behaviour, i am booting
into HURD and as soon as it finishes with booting work (i mean system
startup messages) it reboots automatically :-(
what is wrong now ?
(EDIT: i was thinking of downloading the K14 CD-1 but for that i have
to wait for 2-6 months as my ISP has monopoly in my area and it is
giving me a download speed of 1.2 kbps (with 90 disconnections per
day) for a 256 kbps bandwidth connection :-( i expect some
improvement over next 6 months. lots of Indians are selling Linux CDs
but no one for CDs of HURD :-(
