Do they have a high latency connection to snapshots?  I think you're 
absolutely correct, just because a user doesn't have a low latency 
connection doesn't mean a network install shouldn't work for them.

Regardless of the cause, how can the error be traced?  I will try a 
network install of 5.0-RELEASE from another high latency source.
