Although it appears as three install options it is really only two - download and install or straight install. The big thing I question based on what I noticed in your setup.log above is what mirror site did you select and also what packages did you choose to download or what packages did the chooser show you it was going to download. I ask because I don't see the mirror site listed nor do I see any listed packages and when setup downloads files it stores the downloaded names in the setup.log or setup.log.full as well as the site name.
