Doing a regular installation, just after the base system is installed,
select "yes" to the question "Use a network mirror?" Go to the top of
the list and select the "enter information manually" option. Enter the
host name as "archive.debian.org" and the archive mirror directory as
"/debian/" (these will be asked as two separate questions).
I tried it just now in a new installation in a Qemu VM and it worked.
The installer was able to retrieve packages from arcive.debian.org.
