Indeed, maybe it should be documented.
Moreover, what is disturbing is that the parameter seams to be valid in a first time (Release files are downloaded successfully). It fails very lately at the end of base system installation. It means that the installer succeeded to download packages until this very one.
Whatever be the solution chosen, the behaviour should made more consistent and deterministic.
