Sounds like maybe your firewall is truncating or corrupting packets
then. Most likely the thing causing that SSH message is what is cutting
of the http transfer too. Or someone between you and
security.debian.org is. Some ISPs run "transparent" proxies, although
that shouldn't affect SSH, so it is more likely something lower level
corrupting or truncating the packets.
