I was able to reproduce with the current Rawhide nightly (20250805.n.0, anaconda-43.33-1.fc43) by starting the installation and simply disconnecting the network interface during package download. I think we should introduce some user-friendly error dialog, and potentially provide an option to retry the download upon user request.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 45 development cycle. Changing version to 45.
