You haven't looked hard enough.

I just get into the loop : Thanks for the tip !
Actually I was running both iceweasel and firefox, downsides :
1. can't run them at the same time.. obviously
2. wait for all plugins
The old NetInstall CD is out of data, that's why it is choked when it tried
to grab packages.
I burned a new CD with current stable version and it looks fine by far.

It started to download from that default ftp mirror.
