new setup.exe - another problem, or is this behavior expected?

[carolus]

On my last download, a few days ago, when the initial server became 
unresponsive, the setup process simply hung up even though I had 
selected several alternate servers.  After waiting a while, I terminated 
and restarted the process but again the process hung up.  I had to 
remove the offending server from the selected list to get the download 
to proceed.  However, when I did so, it downloaded a lot of duplicates 
of files already downloaded from the failed server.

This is not what I expected on the basis of past experience, but the 
installation instructions simply state: "You can select multiple mirrors 
by holding down CTRL and clicking on each one." with no explanation of 
the expected consequences.

I asked for an explanation but have gotten no response:
