That is actualy a bug in choose-mirror that was fixed yesterday. I
messed up the archive upload though so fixed D-I builds need at least
another day (there is another issue breaking D-I).
The new choose-mirror now also has the list of amd64 mirrors instead
of the normal ones.

The sid-netinst from Feb. 19 is known to work. You might have to force
installation of the current base-files version on upgrades
though. Can't remember.

Read http://amd64.debian.net/README.mirrors.html in your favourite
browser. Hopefully starting tomorrow you won't need that though.
