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.
