Hello,
just to be sure: I assume 21.05.2014 is the installation date and you have
used the current weekly image (dated 2014-05-19 09:20) from
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/weekly-builds/amd64/iso-dvd/debian-testing-amd64-DVD-1.iso?

I have tried to reproduce this behaviour with the weekly CD image
(the DVD just has more additional packages, but the installer and
base system components are identical) in a VM with access to the
internet only via proxy, but I have not encountered any problems
in this setup.
On my test-VM, the base system gets installed completely from
CD/DVD without any need for network access. In the "configuring
the package manager" step after the base system has been
installed, the installer asks whether a proxy shall be used for
the rest of the installation and installs using the proxy without
problems.
Is it perhaps possible that your DVD image is corrupt? The
installer uses the term "download" regardless of the protocol
used to install packages, i.e. it also "downloads" the packages
from the DVD. You can check the DVD image by running sha256sum
on it and comparing the result to the contents of
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/weekly-builds/amd64/iso-dvd/SHA256SUMS.
If the image itself is ok, it is also possible the the DVD
burning process introduced some error, so you could try burning
the image onto a new DVD and retry the installation.
