Hello!
As of the past few hours I've been trying some mirrors. As it happens
some of the mirrors report to the setup program that the program can't
download the setup.ini file.

This happens with at least two of the three I choose.

Also the interrupted download happens when the very last item is being
retrieved, the one that instructs the entire series on what to do, the
_update-info-dir file for example.

I'll keep trying. As for space issues, there is plenty there.
