I have seen this recently, too.  I don't think it is a problem with the 
mirror site, because it seems it always fails on the first try and succeeds 
on the second, no matter which mirrors I choose.

Since I haven't seen others complain about it, I assumed it was something 
wrong with my setup/firewall/etc.  I haven't tried to dig in to it more, 
though.
