This can either be a temporary error on the mirrors in question (possibly
because they were being synced), or an problem with your network setup or
network connection.
For the last, it could be possibly be the issue described in
http://bugs.debian.org/401435.
Could you retry and see if the problem persists? If it does, could you try
the workaround mentioned in #401435?
Trying a completely different mirror (like ftp.nl.debian.org, which in my
experience is very reliable) could be an option too.
