Installing from FTP: unable to transfer the GENERIC distribution

[Антон Клесс]

So, that was 100% hardware problem: at one hand, on next day I saw ECC
related error-alerts in IPMI's event log, phone dealer and was told to
exchange bad RAM module with my guarantee. On other hand, I decided to give
dealer the full server as-is to take a look, and that was right decision:
they somehow (don't tell me how) give a diagnosis that motherboard, not RAM,
is answerable for errors. So, motherboard is exchanged, tomorrow I'll start
again.
