Something to check, I have not tried the latest boot-floppies, probably
fixed, but check anyway: take a look at the downloaded Release file,
make sure it isn't e.g. a 404, and looks "right". Previous versions of
boot-floppies didn't delete the Release file, and hence didn't download
it again when trying a different mirror/path, so maybe also try deleting
the Release file by hand, before trying another mirror?
I'm hoping this won't help you. ;) (meaning this issue's already been
fixed ;) Then still take a look at the downloaded Release file to try
and figure out what is "malformed" about it?
