Re: problems with download

I'm still getting these 404 errors in response to `apt-get upgrade'
and `apt-get dist-upgrade':

There's nothing wrong with my net connection---everything else works.
Apt-get update works as normal. This has been the response every time
I've tried in the last 24 to 36 hours or so.

Doing a manual ftp shows that the files do exist and can be
downloaded:

ftp> cd frozen
250 CWD command successful.
ftp> cd main
250 CWD command successful.
ftp> cd binary-i386
250 CWD command successful.
ftp> cd x11
250 CWD command successful.
ftp> mget xlock*
mget xlockmore-gl_4.15-7.deb? n
mget xlockmore_4.15-7.deb? y
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for xlockmore_4.15-7.deb (383466 bytes).
226 Transfer complete.
383466 bytes received in 6.67 secs (56.1 kB/s)

But from the next attempt (seconds later) to `apt-get upgrade':

Failed to fetch http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dists/frozen/main/binary-i386/x11/xlockmore_4.15-7.deb
  404 Not Found

Weird, no?
