The only thing i can think of right now, is that you might have installed off a corrupt iso image?, did you try to download another one and install it again?
PS: Can you post a screenshot of a DriveSetup window?

It may simply be that your internet service provider or your country is blocking access to the Haiku package repository. Can you access https://eu.hpkg.haiku-os.org/haiku/r1beta4/x86_64/current from Haiku web browser? (it should just show a single line of text, but it will be enough to check connectivity). Is it accessible from a web browser on another OS from the same Internet connection?

OK, I try it.
Response is
Route { branch: “r1beta4”, arch: “x86_64”, version: “r1~beta4_hrev56578_84”, path: “r1beta4/x86_64/r1~beta4_hrev56578_84” }.
Is it right?

Yes. So everything on the “internet” side seems to be working.
I am out of ideas then. I think the next thing to do would be to recompile the “netservices” library in debug mode and recompile pkgman to use that, so we can have more logging and maybe a better idea where the error happens.

At the bottom of this page ( HaikuDepot ) there is a section called Diagnostic Logs. There is a command ’ HaikuDepot -v debug ’ that might provide some insight. Verbosity can be changed as well. Just a thought, @humdinger pointed me to this in the past to resolve an issue.
I think that will help with connections to HaikuDepot (for ratings, screenshots and icons) but not for package downloads?

Ok, I wasn’t sure. Thanks. Wouldn’t hurt to try it and see what pops up.
Well, I tried out in Terminal.
Unfortunately I’ve run out from line puffer in Terminal as I could not scroll up to the issued command - so for the beginning from debug output - this way I could not check out output entirely.
(Also there is no puffer setting implemetion in Terminal as of used - yet. putty has that and maybe available for Konsole as well - I had not launched them to use them for this check only. 
)
THIS WAY …
… I recommend to redirect output into a debug log file.
~> export HQ_VER_REV=`uname -s`_`uname -p`__`uname -v|cut -c 1-24|tr " " _`; \
> export HQ_DEPOT_DEBUG_LOG=/boot/system/var/log/HaikuDepot_DebugLog__$(echo $HQ_VER_REV).log ; \
> nohup HaikuDepot -v debug >> $HQ_DEPOT_DEBUG_LOG 2>&1
… and as the forum engine ‘removes’ (really just hides, and/or interpret as control character for itself) some important chars from here above (first line of command - mainly)
– during as it displays my text input –
I put my Terminal screenshot-tiny here for other ones to be able to see the correct ones :
Anyway - for saying it can be helpful
I paste here a later part of the debug that shows details of refreshing packages data from several repos and messages shows detail of connections and actions :
(Remark : I replaced commercial at to (cat) everywhere in output piece below, as the forum engine tried to address them as forum members ! 8D
and begged pardon in warning I can address only max ten members !! 
every line starts commercial at … LOL )

Just a FYI, you have to use “preformatted text” (ctrl+e) if you want to make your text appear verbatim. Just surround the text with tree consecutive “back-ticks”.
export HQ_VER_REV=`uname -s`_`uname -p`__`uname -v|cut -c 1-24|tr " "_`
(Edit: apparently, it doesn’t works too well when nested, so I can’t find a way to properly output an example. Works on preview, but fails to render properly when posted )
I still had not tested preformatted text option, as I assumed it means some html - like formatted texts
Yepp - as I wrote the forum engine uses some control characters. Some of them can be discarded by using a backslash at input …
`thiese` – here one backslash before enabled to see this shell execution pairs around ‘these’ … otherwise they would be hidden from displaying.
Somewhere it alters the color and font as well if it used (Trac) - you can highlight commands that way in text - if you want.
I wanted to suggest a similar solution to be added to the forum input options :
some input field that do not implies text formattin’ stuff -
So really it does exists - just not really works as expected or well, I see …
ha-ha 
I have added the triple-backticks in your post. Now I think it renders correctly.
Thanks - it resulted better as for @BiPolar or as for me.
At his post almost everything was correct except the cut command : the character range was not -c 1-24 , as in my command , but displays as -c124
I also tried out in my answer but finally erased all the part of it.
Next I will use it, but seems : needs some extra care before/after save it.
Thanks - both of you - for the hint. Funny, as it highlights part of the ‘code’ in my case - as it is not program code just some shell commands - so looks a bit too much.
In case real source code : it can be really helpful for visibility and looking the code syntax is really easy and viewable, I assume.
Fixed it now. That was just a typo from my part, while I was copying the text from your screenshot (one more reason to NOT use screenshots of Terminal output when a preformatted-text block can be used .
Ah, okidoki - Got it now
