[Bug 1389754] [NEW] net-install for current 14.04 via iPXE on VMWare stalls for 20 minutes

[Rasmus Edgar Jørgensen]

Public bug reported:

After the debian installer has succesfully configured networking, the
installer will hang for about 20 minutes after fetching Packages.gz from
a local apt-cacher-ng mirror.

This can clearly be seen in the attached logs. Check syslog 11:38.

I have also attached the current preseed file.

The initial version of Ubuntu 14.04 did not have this issue, and I
believe that this issue  was introduced later.

How to replicate:
Boot from iPXE iso (the only one I've tested) and install via http.
