It is not caused by the mirror. It is crashing long before it would try to

Again, this has nothing to do with it. It crashes on an attempt to retrieve
the list of mirrors.
If my guess is correct, it just crashes on first attempt to connect to the
internet.
Do you have any questionable measures employed? Like braindead AV/firewall
