Only someone who was present for the installation would know for sure,
but at the time, the installer was unable to contact that web site.
Could have been due to missing network interface firmware, or a transient
DNS problem, or ... who knows?

But that one worked?  Interesting.  That points more toward an issue
with DNS or with the (small) set of security.debian.org servers, rather
than something like missing firmware which would have affected all
network activity during the installation.
