Sounds like the server must have been awfully busy then:
Modifying this same file a thousand times per second. ;-)
Because it kept happening, no matter how often I tried, with zillions
of different package files...
(otherwise I wouldn't have filed this bug anyway)

Hmm.
This didn't seem to happen entirely consistently.
In most cases, it got reset to 0, but in some cases it resumed properly.

I'm afraid I can't really check it any more, since that was caused by
someone shaping that server too much by accident, and that severe shaping
(about 1/10 of the usual bandwidth) is gone now.
That server (*huge* southern Germany FTP mirror, 600+ GB)
has drawn some attention at the border router, so it had to get shaped ;-)
Anyway, I'll keep an eye on it, that's for sure.
Thanks for listening !
