Uh..

Well, this means the bits that were pulled down don't match the what the
Package file claims. Should never ever happen of course.

Run md5sum on the files in partial and check against the Package file.
Your cache may be caching a corrupted file or the end servers
just might be bad <shrug>. Heck, you might have a 1 bit error that isn't
within any compressed data. So it eludes gzip's CRC.
If they do match, then congrats, you found a bug - though due to the way
the code is that would be .. interesting ..

Nope, impossible.

FTP over HTTP over Squid is slightly less than desirable, I dont think
If-Modified-Since actually works (squid bug). I *don't* recommend this
configuration BTW.

I recommend shared NFS of /var/cache/apt/archives... Faster/better than
squid for .debs
