Every once in a while i get this (and i know my ethernet connection
isn't down). Retrying until things get around to a different ip address
(http.us.debian.org round-robins to several) usually gets the files
downloaded. My guess is that it was the middle of the update and some
mirrors didn't get it all at the same time, but i don't know for sure.
