First, your message would be more appropriately sent to debian-user.
I experienced the same problems you describe when testing the
1998-04-12 disks, but not with newer ones. I just checked one of the
mirrors (llug.sep.bnl.gov) and found that the disks-i386 directory had
a 1998-04-11 and a 1998-04-26 subdirectory, but the symlink "current"
points to 1998-04-11.
I suggest you get the disks you need from Incoming. The set in
Incoming is 2.0.6, which worked well for me. (I'm referring to the
1.44mb disks - the 1.2 mb ones are still troublesome.)
Not all mirrors include Incoming. llug.bnl.sep.org does, and I
think ftp1.us.debian.org does. ftp.debian.org does not mirror Incoming.
