I was thinking about this some more. Stephen Hilton said just to say "No" when it asks to try and refetch the dist, and that works, so we know it's downloading everything correctly. Also, you don't get this when you point sysinstall at ftp.freebsd.org. I didn't break a sniffer out, but perhaps there's a problem with the releng4.freebsd.org FTP server not Ack'ing the last packet or something. It would explain why this problem is occuring for only -stable snaps, and not any of the releases. Just a thought.
