* What led up to the situation?
Tested with weekly build image (2025-02-24)
https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/weekly-builds/amd64/iso-cd/debian-testing- amd64-netinst.iso
Using netinst.iso, it hangs when scanning the mirror frequently.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Bad case:
Debian archive mirror country: choose "Japan"
Then choose mirror "deb.debian.org"
Bad case:
Debian archive mirror country: choose "United States"
Then choose mirror "ftp.us.debian.org"
Good case:
Debian archive mirror country: choose "Japan"
Then choose mirror "ftp.jp.debian.org"
* What was the outcome of this action?
It tends to stall with "Scanning the mirror..." message.
It is reasonable taking time to choose appropriate mirror,
but no response for a long time.
It brings weird user experience.
I don't know whether it might be region specific issue.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
If it does not stall, please show something updated message time to
time.
It is hard to wait with only "Scanning the mirror..." even though the
problem is arised from mirror.
