I've been encountering these errors persistently for about the last week too. I usually do echo $? to check the error level after any aptitude operation now. I think ftp.us.debian.org has been designated a primary server and if I understand the mirrors stuff on debian.org correctly primary mirrors are only to be used to push files to other secondary mirrors. If that's the case, terciary downloaders like ourselves would be blocked from primary mirrors and would be serviced by one of the secondary mirrors. These errors also happened for me with mirrors.kernel.org after a few downloads so I've moved along to another mirror site. So far I just got one download from that site but I expect to have to move on again before too much longer. It could be the netselect and mirrormon packages may be of some use to us now and in the future.
