Cloning this report to netcfg for this issue.

This is a known issue and is being worked on.

Well, if you choose to manually configure the mirror, you can not really 
expect the installation system to know that it should set the mode.
AFAIK, you can solve this by switching to VT2 and adding the following 
lines to /etc/apt/apt.conf (using nano).
  ftp
  {
    Passive "true";
    Proxy::Passive "true";
  };

However, I'll assign this to choose-mirror as a wishlist item.
Maybe they can grep /etc/apt/sources.list for the FTP method after manual 
configuration or something.
(Note: this wish probably also applies to apt-setup.)
