I saw the same problems and could track it down to a squid with havp in
transparent mode. It seems that anaconda resets (via tcp reset) the
connection at different times during download.

If I bypass the proxy it is working. wget for the failed packages works,
too. So it is only a problem of anaconda.

I also have the same problem with CentOS 5 i386 network installation.
Fedora 15 and spacewalk-repo-sync have no issues.
