I received the same problem. Installation hangs while attempting to retrieve
libc0.3 during base system install with a debootstrap warning:

Warning: couldn't download package libc0.3

Eventually you will be returned to the installation options screen. You can
start at the same place where the installation leaves you and retry the base
installation process and I have been able to get libc0.3 to download every
time on the second attempt.

I think this may be related to the /etc/apt/sources.list being set to
http://jk.fr.eu.org/debian/hurd-installer/mirror, which leads to a slow
connection for some. After installation this can be changed to get updates
from some other location.
