Pretty often actually.  Have multiple sources, be prepared to comment out
the ones that don't work right now, and re-update and re-upgrade if the
situation occurs again.  Basically, http.us.debian.org is never the most
trustworthy under the best of circumstances, and sometimes can be a real
bitch, depending on what round-robin server you get.  Try using FTP, I've
found better success that way.

on me.  What gives?  Any one else experience this problem?

Hmm. Guess I've been lucky for the last two years as I've never had a
problem until the last couple of months. I was updating a half dozen
machines running various things ( behind a squid cache, so I only grabbed
stuff off the Net once ) and rarely had a problem.
