The method by which the directory on the FTP server is found has been changed in ftp.c some time ago. Since installing via proxy relied on this, it is now broken.

Hm, I don't see this here - it correctly fetches all chunks of the desired distribution. IIRC, the installation falls back to "distribution.tgz" if it couldn't get "distribution.inf". I'll take another look at it.
