This might not be an issue with any particular mirror.

I've seen broken tcp connections on the pinebook pro before.
Its especially noticable with the "ftp" tool, but i belilieve i've seen it
with longer running ssh too.

It might be a problem of the bwfm(4). If you can, try the install with some
other usb ethernet or usb wifi adapter.

If that does not help, put the releaseon a usb stick and install the tgz
from disk in the installer.

Best,
Benno
