With the FTP method it sends the server a http RETR command when it gets to Packages.gz. With the HTTP method it requests Release just fine (same as with FTP (notice a pattern?)) and just stops there, no request for Packages.gz at all. This is using the main setup floppies (not a 'flavor'ed version).

There is a quite noticeable delay, especially on slower computers, when
the Packages file is retrieved. A routine is actually running in the
background, which you can verify with ps -A in console 2.
Perhaps you just gave up too soon.
