A broken mirror site is a possible scenario:
$ wget -O - http://www.debian.org 2>/dev/null | grep cdimage
<span class="download"><a href="http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/7.4.0/multi-arch/iso-cd/debian-7.4.0-amd64-i386-netinst.iso";>Download Debian 7.4<em>(32/64-bit PC Network installer)</em></a> </span>
$ wget -S --spider http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/7.4.0/multi-arch/iso-cd/debian-7.4.0-amd64-i386-netinst.iso
Spider mode enabled. Check if remote file exists.

Location: http://caesar.acc.umu.se/debian-cd/7.4.0/multi-arch/iso-cd/debian-7.4.0-amd64-i386-netinst.iso [following]
...
Remote file exists.
I was redirected to the caesar.acc.umu.se, but OP could be redirected
to another, broken site.
