Comments/Problems:
    My English is pool :)
    When I use the mirror <http://debian.cn99.com/debian> (It's the fastest
mirror for me), 
the apt-get always failed after successful downloaded a file, just like
this:
     1: success
     2: Server close connection
     3: success
     4: Server close connection
     .....

    So if I use this mirror to deal a network installation, it always
failed.

    It seems that: apt-get try to get the next file immediately after the
previous file was 
received. So if the http server closes TCP connections after transform a
file, apt-get will 
receive a TCP FIN after sending out a HTTP/GET of the next file.

    I think there are two schemes:
    1. We can set a "retry" option for apt-get during installation.
    2. Close TCP connection and reconnect for every file.

We are closing this installation report for one of the following
reasons:
- it was reported with a pre-lenny version of Debian
  Installer.
- indications in the installation report give the feeling that
  the reported problem waslying in another software, unrelated to
  D-I, which we can't easily identify.
- indications in the installation report suggest that it may have been
  fixed in a more recent version of a D-I component
- it was successful and we forgot closing it..:-)
- it has no information we consider useful


The D-I team is currently in the process of cleaning out the old spool
of installation reports that haven't bene processed yet. 

In case you think that the problem you reported has chances to be
still present, please reiterate your installation test with
a more recent image of D-I, if you're in position of doing this.

You'll find daily builds at
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer. We recommend you choose
the netboot image, in the "daily builds section", then choose to
install "squeeze" when prompted.

If some problems are found, please report them with a new bug sent
against installation-reports.

Many thanks for your understanding and your help improving Debian,
past and present.
