Problems getting files from distribution sites.

[Kevin A Smith <kas@lucent.com>]

New installation. Go the base system up with floppies ;-0
Now running dselect, getting numerous failures when trying to
download packages either with http from "llug.sep.bnl.gov"
or ftp from ftp.debian.org.

Errors I'm getting with HTTP method:

"overly long header from webserver" and "bad header line"

and with ftp:

"ERROR ftp://.....................stuff........../something.deb
   Incorrect MD5Sum"

Any advice based on this (wealth of :) information.....?
