Are you using the on-line setup/installation, e.g. download a small file (300KB) that then handles the installation ?
If so abandon that method and download the full avast version so you can install it off-line.
Download the latest version of avast http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html and save it to your HDD, somewhere you can find it again. Use that when you reinstall. Ensure that you scroll down and select the avast direct download link for the English version and not Cnet as that is for an on-line installation (not what you want to do).
