If it is a (broken?) transparent proxy in your ISP, it will continue to
happen until you figure out a way to get that proxy to _INVALIDATE_ its
cache at every request. And you might have to request twice, if it is
broken enough to not invalidate the _current_ request.
Enable these options:
Acquire::http::No-Cache=True
in apt.conf, if you haven't done so yet. Mind the syntax for apt.conf.
There are many other options for Aquire::http that may help you debug the
issue. Check here (old bugreport, but it might help you):
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/33505
There is also a second possibility: a single slow-to-update mirror in a
round-robin alias is enough to cause such failures. I am not sure all tools
are smart enough to retry with a different IP from the round-robin alias
when fetching indexes (if they're not, it is a bug).
Meanwhile, set your sources.list to a *specific* mirror to ease your
debugging. And there are probably mirrors closer to you network-wise than
ftp.us.debian.org, you might want to check that too.
