I have been seeing much slower updates for various packages and
situations, but I haven't had downloads completely fail, so far.

Here's why some downloads have been slow: The package server hasn't
been updating its catalog, so the checksum reported by the catalog are
out of sync with the HEAD commit of some repos. Due to the way the Git
protocol works, that sometimes causes the repo download to pull 10
times as much data (e.g, for "typed-racket-lib").
