Bug#248504: installation report

Yes, after running any such tool it has as a choice, it should ask if you
want to run another when you exit, each time, and have the alternate choice
be to proceed with installation. I accidentally hit enter out of habit so it
ran taskel for me but I didn't want to, then later I had to find a way back
to choose another option. It would be more convenient the way I describe.

I tried us.debian.org, debian.org, rutgers.edu and had problems with them
(lots of http 400 errors); I believe I tried a couple others and had the
same problems. uchicago.edu and udel.edu seemed to work fine for me. I did
not have any problems connecting to the sites themselves in a browser (also
through my proxy), but Debian was having problems. Also I remember seeing
"not in gzip format" errors (as if it thought .../packages was supposed to
be .../packages.gz).

Well, I know I was able to connect to security.debian.org in a normal
browser through my proxy just fine, but Debian was getting a lot of http 400
errors and possibly others.
