OK, I think I got it. That is, I now have six files, one of which is
the ISO of 148.1 MB. But after the download finished I got:
"Images offered by `http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/arch-latest/amd64/iso-cd/debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso':"
Being unsure what to do, I did nothing. After a while I got:
"Number of image to download: "
Apparently the "Images offered by ..." line was supposed to be followed
by a list of images from which I could choose one. But that doesn't
make any sense if it just finished downloading the ISO that I typed at
<URL of required ISO file>.
