This is strange, since it is the same package as f28, just rebuilt in
the f29 environment. You could try installing the f28 package from here
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1042001
to see if it has the same issue.
When I do a net install, I always do a minimal install first, and then
use dnf to do the updates while running the new install, pulling from
the repositories. It seems to work fine, and errors like you
encountered aren't as painful. And, as Patrick said, if cache removal
is turned off, the downloaded files remain locally so there is only the
one download. At the end a
dnf clean packages
will remove them.
