I don't think so.  Go to
http://mirror.teklinks.com/centos/7.1.1503/isos/x86_64/ and see what's
at that URL.  I did try it using in netinstall (just trying *everything*
possible), it yielded the same error  once again... and there aren't any
Packages to be found which would be meaningful for installing packages.
