I checked the README.TXT file. Instead of the line shown above it is 
printed:
    This folder contains the "Complete MiKTeX" package set.
I changed the line to the phrase you mentioned, but still MiKTeX 
installs only 109 packages out of the repository.
I noticed the following file within the package directory 
"packages\miktex\config\mpm.ini". I guess, this is the database file 
describing the repository. Might it be corrupted and thus influencing 
the installation behavior?
I will work around this problem by using "mpm.exe  
--install-some=filename", so please do not bother to much about it.
