I don't think it is a IPv6 problem.
Here a part of my syslog from a later try with another mirror:

It looks like the installer has lost DNS for this mirror.
I had that problem on an old server with Debian Woody x86. apt-get update
wasn't working with the same error. Then I had to ping the mirror to get
an correct DNS and after that, apt-get had worked for some time. This
problem disappeared with Sarge.
The other idea with preformatting the USB-Drive: doesn't matter for me. I
had to preformat my USB stick cause of the memory problem, but that
changed nothing.
Greatings, Markus
