Bug#364650: HTTP timeout is still a problem

[Graham <graham.knap@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I have just tried the etch installer rc1, and this problem still exists.

I still think that the best solution would be to allow me to enter the
security URL manually, if I already chose to enter the main archive
URL manually.

If you can't do that, then please at least reduce the timeout. It is
excessively long. I timed 20 minutes on my wristwatch while running
the installer inside MS Virtual PC today.

Oddly, /var/log/installer/syslog only shows about 9 minutes elapsed,
but even that is far too long.

Thanks
