I built a Squeeze machine from monash mirror last night.
I used debian-6.0.3-i386-businesscard.iso - what image are you using?
Updated several machines from it today. No problems.
Just checked the Squeeze repository prior to posting this - still no

Are you running a proxy server??
Did vt4 (in the installer) yield any other clues??
