Oh, please, I am not kidding you, and I talk about HTTP (contents and headers). I know it sends the correct content data, but it sends crappy headers which works with some HTTP clients and with some it does not - and this unfortunatelly happens with curl. It's even worse, curl runs amok after seeing this and corrupts the retrieved data. > I've checked apt from outside and everything is OK. That is because the apt's "http" tool does tollerate bad stuff. Do a curl -D foo http://ftp.task.gda.pl and look at the foo contents. There is no length specification. WTF? Do a curl -D foo http://ftp.task.gda.pl/debian/dists/sarge/contrib/binary-i386/Packages.gz > /dev/nul and look at foo (with an editor that does not hide non-printable chars). You cannot tell me that the binary junk around the word zip is "correct". Nor do the content specification make much sense. Please install a proper http daemon (webfs, boa, or even apache*) or fix thttpd.
