I initially tried the network installation, but there are so many
packages/files to retrieve that I quit and went for the DVD install.
I recommend just downloading the DVD image; I believe it's compressed
with lzma2, which means the total data transfer should be much
smaller.

I installed the linux (or platform-independent) version. Works perfectly for me.
