Which is a problem with the redirection handling, which would also explain why its not happening for everyone as these download servers might be doing (no) redirections based on the region of the requester.

At least that break fits in the timeframe, is in mentioned method (RunMessages) and happens [only] with apt-helper (see added test), but I use none of those downloader packages and don't feel like starting to, so that is just an educated guess.
