For a future version of gNewSense, would it make sense to use apt-p2p for the installation as a means of recovering gracefully from incomplete or corrupt transfers? wget is not so robust. During the 3hrs it takes to do a net install there is almost 100% certainty that one or more of the http transfers is interrupted. I recall now that when I did a lot of installation of Ubuntu or Debian, I usually had to make my own local repository somewhere on the same LAN. Leaving apt-p2p in the system after installation is a second question, but addressing bad network connectivity during the installation itself is important. I can provide anecdotes from several networks and environments if use-cases are needed.
