Hello

if you can create a partition on the disk, then you can download it
manually and store it there. When the installer ask where is it, just
point it to the partition on which you downloaded it.  I think the
installer just hget a file, but that file probably no longer exists
:-?, i think there is only a CD iso now, so you can download the iso,
save it on a partition and mount it :-?

may be using other computer is possible too (mount via 9p other host
with the distribution) :-?

i've never needed this :)

slds.
