Bug Description
My natty desktop machine has been happily subscribed to a private ppa for a long time. When I updated it today (for the first time in a month) it showed this error:
Fetched 262 MB in 3min 47s (1,150 kB/s)
Failed to fetch https:/
W: Bizarre Error - File size is not what the server reported 1728827 1712444
E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?
It's possible this is some local error but it seems unlikely any network problem could interfere with a file served over https.

A second attempt to fetch it succeeded, so perhaps this was an intermittent server or client side error. Perhaps the http stream was aborted on the server side, in which case there might be a server side log?
I'm not sure how to rate this: it's a user visible error so it seems to count as critical but maybe it's also a one-off.
