Would it make more sense to drop to the package chooser page, after issuing the
error message and advising the user to: select Back to go to the mirror chooser
page, select Next to retry the downloads, or select Cancel to exit?

In the current released setup, selecting Back on the package chooser page just
unconditionally redownloads setup.ini..., with all download dialogue box buttons
disabled, and drops back into the package chooser page, rather than allowing the
choice of: select Back to go to the mirror chooser page, select Next to download
setup.ini..., or Cancel to exit.
