Something to check, I have not tried the latest boot-floppies, probably fixed, but check anyway: take a look at the downloaded Release file, make sure it isn't e.g. a 404, and looks "right". Previous versions of boot-floppies didn't delete the Release file, and hence didn't download it again when trying a different mirror/path, so maybe also try deleting the Release file by hand, before trying another mirror? I'm hoping this won't help you. ;) (meaning this issue's already been fixed ;) Then still take a look at the downloaded Release file to try and figure out what is "malformed" about it?
