You could try downloading the image or sets (smaller) in their entirety to a small partition and then install using local. Can't imagine that your disk would pause the connection at 644kb of the kernel which it's not decompressing, but if you got to 100%, then it's certainly worth a go. You may also get a useful message or more ftp options to try. Use /mnt3 or something cos the installer uses /mnt
