It's a case of one architecture too many, rather than a problem with
amd64 specifically. The archive for 12 architectures is too big.
It will be split into two parts, being one distributed by all mirrors
with the most common platforms (i386, amd64, perhaps powerpc) and a
second half containing the less used architectures.
