It fails quite consistently for me... and as far as I can tell, the error indicates something's wrong with the downloaded file (or my machine), not that it failed to find it on the server -- the "no such file" error it gets later seems to because the initial problem with the file's contents caused the download to delete the destination file. Additionally, when using aptitude, I get "gzip: stdin: not in gzip format" errors, and noting that it seem to be downloading .bz2 files, it seems like somethign is expecting gzip format, but the files on the server are bzip2 files...?
