Thanks for this detailed report, which let me find the problem. I will 
make the installer more robust in this case and to be able to use 
installer release 0.9.0-1 I have uploaded an updated configuration. 
Until the new config is available on the mirror,which need some hours 
and an updated installer is released, you can try the following workaround:

1. Open the file config.txt in your kde download directory with an editor.
2. Change line 29 from
        @url
    to
        @url .
(the '.' has to be added)  and save the file in the download directory 
under the name config-remote.txt.

2. Start installer - it will use config-remote.txt as configuration file 
without downloading a fresh copy and you should be able to install kde 
applications.
Please remove config-remote.txt after installing otherwise you are not 
able to get notice about new packages.
