It seems that at least some of the Installer's executables, or the resolver library it's linked and distributed with are buggy; at least on my machine, Debian linux; wheezy/sid; 2.6.39-2-686.

In particular: ./bin/quartus_dl whom the installer uses as a littler helper for downloading from http.

When quartus_dl resolves the IP for download.altera.com, it expects an ip, get's a CNAME, and then decides it's failed to connect. As a temporary solution I've used:

echo "128.171.28.7 download.altera.com" >> /etc/hosts

Now the installer seems to work.
