tl-install restore period

[Norbert Preining]

Hi

I'm an not sure what you are talking about, but it seems the mirror selected by the multiplexer is out of date or broken.

You can select any mirror manually using the
  -repository ...
argument.

Details here https://tug.org/texlive/doc/install-tl.html
