Meanwhile, I have never run into this problem with apt-get. ... ah, okay, maybe this is it: ftp.us.debian.org uses round-robin DNS to switch between multiple mirrors. APT’s HTTP method copes with this by doing the lookup once and reusing the IP for a number of requests, whereas it looks like cupt is switching between mirrors too often. Selecting a random particular mirror (like mirrors2.kernel.org, the first one ‘ping’ gave me) does avoid the problem, though that doesn’t rule out this having just avoided some particular problematic mirror.
