Sorry for noise, I'm answering my own question here. When the installer 
asks about mirrors, I chose

ht for http protocol

I used the following domain

beta.gnewsense.org

then the following directory

gnewsense

the installer then found a list of the distributions available (in this 
case just one, ucclia)

and I chose ucclia

Seems to be working. I did poke around the mirrors nearer the UK but 
could not find a beta mirror, just the 3.x ones.

Cheers
