For completeness, I discovered I was having issues with downloading the sources for the sysupgrade command on my edge firewall also! So it was not limited to internet servers as first thought.
Since upgrading the 6.6 (had to run sysupgrade 4 times to get it to complete the downloads), the issues seems to have been resolved and now all packages are installing first time every time.. So I am not sure if this is just me or a 6.5 issue. Most likely the former ;) Kind regards, Andy.
